I was blessed to have been raised in a Christian home and raised by parents that loved the Lord and took me to church. When I was 13, I gave my life to Christ after a long struggle with doubt and turmoil with not knowing if I was a true child of God. After giving my life to Jesus, I found a new love for the Bible and began learning the scriptures with a new disciple, which lasted through high school and led me to decide to attend a Christian University.
I was eventually accepted into Bob Jones University where I Majored in Biology and minored in both Chemistry and Bible. I was blessed to take a number of music courses and took up guitar more seriously after college. After attending graduate school at Michigan State University, I returned home and joined a worship band at a local church as part of their college and career fellowship where I also met my future wife.
Julie and I got married in 2010 and in 2015 we moved to St Petersburg. We have attended Faith Fellowship since 2017 and we have recently joined the worship band and are happy to serve the people of God as we help lead in worship!
