I was born a poor...nah, that's an old joke that's been done too many times. I'm originally from Waverly (where the heck is that?), Ohio. I was born on Halloween (insert your own joke here) which explains my dimented view of the world. The Lord has led me to many different places throughout the world. I did an eight year stint in the U.S. Army and I'm a veteran of the first Gulf War / Operation Desert Storm (tragic, but necessary). I've lived in Colorado, Washington state, New York, Korea, and now Kentucky. I've also spent time in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Japan and Italy (both for quick stops), Canada, and I am proud to say I've seen every state except Hawaii (someday I will).
I've been into music as long as I can remember. I mastered the "air guitar" at an early age. I picked up a real guitar sometime later and it has mastered me ever since. Do you know how hard it is to NOT bash the thing against the wall? I'm basically a self-taught musician with varying music interests (except opera). I'd have to say the most influential artists in my style of music are Neil Young, the Eagles, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, the Tragically Hip, and Third Day. There are alot of others I could list but I'm only allowed to write a couple of paragraphs. I've been in a couple of bands and done some solo projects but none have been more important and more satisfying as what I've been into recently.
My latest adventures have hooked me up with this great group of guys. Psalm 98:4 is quite a strange collection of individuals. If you take a closer look there is no way you could deny the Lord has led us all together. There's Danny the redneck (I think he looks like Jeff Foxworthy), Kenny the ex-punker (ask him about his mohawk), Jeffy the drummer (enough said), and Terry the a...who's a...um...well, we love Terry. Then there's Mikey whom I just can't seem to get rid of. But, in all seriousness, I love these guys and I'm so thankful we've been brought together. They are a talented group of individuals who share my beliefs and love of God and they make all our time together entertaining and unpredictable. It's hard for me to believe how far we've come in such a short period of time. Then again, we all love music, we enjoy each others company and fellowship, and we have a purpose in spreading the word of Christ. Hope y'all come and see us and have fun.
