Born in 1967, I was born-again, accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, in 1979. In the mid-1980’s, I started waivering in my faith. By late 1987, I officially labeled myself an agnostic. In late 1999, God reopened my mind to the truths found in the Bible and I rededicated my life to Christ. My home church is The Church at Mt. Gilead, an Independent Christian Church outside of Mooresville, Indiana.
 

I graduated from Mooresville High School in 1985 and received a BM in Music Education from Butler University in 1989. I have been a freelance musician (trombonist) since 1989. Currently, I am the Principal Trombone of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and play with the Basement Brass Quintet and Starry Knights (a 17-piece, Glenn Miller-style big band). I also teach private lessons and periodically work with middle school and high school bands in the Indianapolis metropolitan area as a brass instructor.

Additionally, through Missions Alive, I help to provide video and web-related services to missionaries. I also maintain the mailing list for The Fellowship of Christian Optometrists.
