August 8th 2002 my younger brother passed away. It was at his funeral that I first heard that inner voice say "write". At the time I thought I was suppose to write a book about his life, to tell the story that he could no longer tell himself. It wasn't until a few years later that I fully understood that I was suppose to write music.

About the same time my wife and I had joined a new church and within a few months I started playing guitar with the modern worship band. Being this was the first time I had ever played with a band before it was both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. Within a few months I settled in and really began enjoying myself and the music we were playing.

In 2007, unbenounced to us in the band, Kevin, our Modern Worship Arts director, had made the decision to move on and start his own church. Being that his mind was tied up planning his new venture. The music became stale and we found ourselves playing the same songs over and over, week in and week out. I grew restless with what we were playing and decided to try my hand at writing music. It took 3 months to write that first song, Ticket Home. Once I completed it I was excited to present it to Kevin for his opinion and had hopes that we could play it during one of our services. Let's just say that the reaction I got was more than I had expected and it didn't take me long to realize that I was on to something that had potential.

After Kevin's departure the church hired Dean as our new Director of Music Ministries. He showed me the true purpose of the music in which we write and perform. The purpose in my mind is to introduce people to Christ through music that is not an in your face style of preaching. The love for music was re-kindled and I was filled with the fire of God's Spirit and began churning out song after song. It was only a few months later when I realized that I had enough music to create a CD of my own. I began working on and tweaking the recordings coming up with a product in which I am very proud of. All of the songs on this disc tell a story, based on events we all have lived through. I'm proud of this project and hope that you enjoy it and find that you can relate to it. I've also decided that for all that God has given me, for all the countless blessings in my life that I want to give something back. With that said. 15% of every CD sold will be donated to the church to aid in supporting Christian Education.

I hope you enjoy the music.
Your friend in the faith
