Technical Director

I was born in 1967 in the lovely city of Detroit, Michigan, raised in and around southeastern Michigan. I moved a lot as a child, attending 8 different schools before I was in 8th grade. It gave me the chance to meet lots of different people in lots of different circumstances.

After brief dreams at making a go of playing pro hockey, I decided by the time I was 13 that music and media would be my life. I picked up a bass guitar and joined a band. By the time I was 15, I was out "touring" the local bar scene as a stage hand and sound man.

By the time I was 20, I had added both piano and guitar to my repertoire of instruments. I continued to play music and stumble through life playing music, doing video, worked at a television station, etc., etc. At 21, I had an amazing gift given to me -- my daughter, Amanda. At 23, I met my future wife, Barb (who has saved my life on more than one occasion). At 25, I bought and established a local recording studio and started working towards becoming a full-time musician. In between all of this, the usuals of life occurred. Fortunately, or Unfortunately, I screwed most of it up.  I had a couple of different "day" jobs (managed a drug store, taught severely mentally impaired youth and adults), and basically just kept on stumbling along.

At the age of 33, looking for the meaning of life, I went with my wife to a small church in Michigan named Crossroads. I immediately accepted Christ, immediately felt the call to ministry full time, married my amazing wife, had my life cleaned up, and now here I am, living proof that God is Love and has Grace and working with the greatest people on this big blue ball, playing with all the creative toys and people a person could want.
