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 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.
