About Me

I grew up in a small Texas town in the Hill Country, near the Frio River.  I was saved at the age of 9, but like many others, through the years I've kept part of my life away from God and to myself.  I graduated high school and college and began a teaching / coaching career that lasted for 22 years.  I married a wonderful girl in 1984, and we are still married, and have 2 beautiful daughters.  For most of my career, you couldn't tell the difference between me and other men who weren't saved.  Then in one of the towns we moved to, I met and very special preacher and a family that helped change me.  They convinced me that I could sing in church and people wouldn't run out the door to get away.  Up until then, I had only sung for the cows on the ranches that my father managed. That was in 1996, and I am still singing.  I live in Ft Worth.  My family and I will travel anywhere that God sends us.  I am a licensed minister, and telling others about the love of God through song is my passion.  I grew up on country music of the 60's and 70's, and my songs have some of those influences.  I write many of the songs that I sing, but the traditional hymms and a few of the contemporary songs are included in my performances. 

The goal of my ministry is to preach the word of God through my music and testimony.  Spreading the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ, and Him alone, is the news that everyone should hear.  By using a mix of traditional gospel, contemporary songs,  and some of my own, God uses my music to touch everyone who hears it.
