ABOUT

What I’m doing currently:
On staff as the pianist at my church.
I also perform solo as a vocalist, keyboardist, acoustic guitarist and songwriter.

What I’m looking for:
Actively searching and praying for the right person to form a working duo.
I guess what I’m really looking for is to expand the musical horizon and potential. Two performers working together create a synergy that one person just can’t and that is speaking from experience.
To be honest, I’m “solo” over it.

My Passion:
I’m also searching for a drummer with a heart for Jesus to round out an original Contemporary Christian band.
Keys, lead guitar, acoustic guitar, fiddle, and bass members are already established, just looking for that God led person to complete the rhythm section. If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to musically serve the King of Kings please contact me.

On a side note:
I have a Bachelor of Music degree in voice and piano from Westminster College.

One last thing:
If you’re a songwriter, that’s an extra bonus, because
I’m always looking for someone to collaborate with and eventually record those well-crafted ideas in my Pro Tools home studio.
