About You About You

Born in Maryland, lived in West Virginia, moved to Jacksonville, Florida when I was 11. I was always interested in music and starting playing drums when I was 9.

When I was 13 I was in my first band, and we played rock’n’roll. I felt a calling to play the drums professionally, but by the time I was 22, I married, and joined the Army instead.

Over the past 10 years, I retired from the Army. I am still married. We have three children, ages 18, 24, and 25 years.

God reminded me, he doesn’t forget his promises, so for the past 5 years, I have been playing drums, and writing praise and worship lyrics, as I am unctioned by the Holy Spirit. I’m looking for like minded musicians and singers, to bring musical voices to the lyrics.

Influences Influences
