Technical Director
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
Well, I’m just another one of those worship leader, songwriter, techno geek, creative dudes. Okay, so I’m a little more than that. I’m also a pastor and a husband (not a dad yet, but really want to be). I love leading God’s people in times of corporate worship and I get excited whenever I see life change happening around me.
Both my wife, Andrea and I are from south Louisiana. Some call that the dirty south, but it’s home and I like it. Besides, if dirty means getting to eat food like that, then I guess you can call me dirty. I’m a ministry school graduate and have been leading worship for about 15 years. In case you’re curious, that’s now half my life, so you figure it out. I’ve led worship and pastored all across the country and my wife and I are currently residing in Grapevine, Texas.
I’ve now released two original albums, “The Worship Project” and “Glory All to You.” Also, I was very fortunate to have been a featured songwriter by Worship Leader Magazine’s Song DISCovery in 2004.
