I became a Christian when I was 8 years old, and was reared by wonderful Christian parents that continue to inspire my faith and encourage my Christian walk.

Many of my friends think of me as a musician: a reflection of my identity in times past. I began playing banjo when I was eleven years old and also became proficient on several other stringed instruments. I performed and recorded with many groups during a thirty year period, but little remains of that lifestyle today. I most enjoy creating instrumental music and have composed 168 pieces. Today, most of my creative energies are given to my writing, though I continue to teach banjo, guitar and violin lessons to a small number of students.

I have twelve other books in various stages of completion, including sequels to my current work, and ideas for at least a dozen more. Writing is my consuming and enduring passion during this era in my life and I have said, on occasion, that for the first half of my life I was a musician…for the second half, I will be a writer.
