Profile
I’m a contemporary
worship leader who appreciates both hymns and post-modern worship styles. I
lead worship from the guitar (acoustic or electric).
I’m a man
of God (age 30), husband to a Godly wife (Jessica), father of one son (Timothy,
age 7) and one daughter
(Ellie, age 4).

I Believe
Jesus is
the Son of God. The Way, the Truth and the Life. He died on the Cross to redeem
us from our sins and rose to life on the third day.
True worship is an act of the head, the heart and the hands. My calling as a worship leader is to model, teach, and cultivate those three aspects in the worship teams, the church and in the community.
