Born in 1967, I was born-again, accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, in 1979. In the late 1980’s, I gradually walked away from the faith. In 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. A freelance musician/music instructor, 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.
 

In June 2006, I became Missions Alive’s full-time web consultant and one of their video producers. Due to economic considerations, I now serve the mission on a per project basis. I have continued to play in the groups mentioned in the previous paragraph and am in the process of rebuilding a private lessons schedule.
