I'VE BEEN SINGING AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, AND IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAN GET MY MIND OFF OF ALL THE CRAZYNESS OF THIS WORLD, AND IT IS ALSO MAINLY TO LIFT UP THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, PRAISING HIM IN SONG. HE HAS HELPED ME ACCOMPLISH
MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE AND I KNOW HE'S NOT DONE. I GRADUATED FROM COLONEL RICHARDSON HIGH IN 1989, WHERE I PLAYED DRUMS IN THE BAND AND WON BEST PERCUSSION AND MARYLAND STATE CHAMPIONS (WHOLE BAND 1988-89), I ALSO RECIEVED THE MARINE CORPS YOUNG MUSICIAN AWARD (1989),AND ALSO BECAME AN EAGLE SCOUT THAT SAME YEAR. I MARRIED MY WIFE , BARBARA, AND WE HAD THREE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, HAILEY, BRETT (WHO IS NOW WITH THE LORD), AND EMILY. I WAS CHOSEN AND PERFORMED IN THE JIMMY DEAN COUNTRY MUSIC SHOWDOWN (1997) AND WAS ALSO A CONTESTANT ON WCEIDOL CONTEST ON WCEI RADIO STATION(2003). ALTHOUGH I NEVER WON ANY OF THESE CONTESTS, I LEARNED ALOT FROM THEM. I WAS A MEMBER OF NSAI (NASHVILLE SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL), WHERE I LEARNED ABOUT HOW TO WRITE SONGS AND WHAT PUBLISHERS ARE LOOKING FOR IN MUSIC. I JOINED THE FAIRVIEW CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN AND I CURRENTLY SING WITH THE ADULT CHOIR, I SING WITH A MENS GROUP CALLED "THE BROTHERS", AND PLAY DRUMS AND SING WITH THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP BAND "FAIR PLAY". I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON A PROJECT OF GETTING MY SONGS RECORDED. SOME OF MY GOALS ARE TO CONTINUE TO LOVE AND RAISE MY FAMILY AND WORK HARD FOR YEARS TO COME, TO WRITE MORE SONGS AND HELP DRAW MORE PEOPLE TO THE LORD THROUGH MY MUSIC.

MY MUSICAL INFLUENCES ARE THIRD DAY, CASTING CROWNS, CHRIS RICE, NEWSBOYS, AND MANY OTHER POPULAR CHRISTIAN GROUPS., MY MAIN INFLUENCE IS JESUS
