<P>::: <b>little bit more about mE:</b> well i guess i will start with the time JESUS found me. i was about 14 yrs old. it was around midnight and I was skateboarding in good old downtown jackson, missouri with my cousin dana and friend kurby. this guy butch gast came up to us and shared the awesome message of the gospel. we all accepted CHRIST into our hearts that night. i pretty much lived a life apart from the LORD after that night because it didn't really take root.

<P>in january of 1993 i rededicated my life back to CHRIST, got water baptized by pastor jack, and have been living for CHRIST every since then. the word went deep this time. my first portion of serving in the ministry started on a worship team. a man by the name of jim berkley pretty much found me in this guitar shop buying a bass and offered me lessons. needless to say as we conversed he found out i had just gave my life to CHRIST. at that time he took me in, taught me the bass, and put me on stage as the lone bass player in his church. you see the church needed a bass player and i wanted to serve; so there it was a perfect fit for a truly humble beginner. it was cool, something i always wanted to do anyway and now it was for GOD. as time went on i was asked to try to sing a solo part in a the annual christmas play. they heard me sing and took the bass away. gosh i was shocked. i guess i was not good enough for the bass ha ha just kidding.

<P>my friend marlena bermoy who later became my worship leader and mentor saw the potential and pulled me out of the back and put me in front of a microphone. i thank GOD for her because she is such an obedient woman of GOD. she did what GOD told her to do and developed me into the worship leader i am today (10 years later). after i ministered alongside marlena and her family, our families parted ways as GOD sent us out. i then met habib bardowell who is to this day continuing to impart and develop me into a worshipper. i thank GOD for him as well. he was obedient to GOD and took me in as a friend and an intern. i am currently serving with habib at mission hills church in mission viejo, california. there is a lot more to my life and would take forever to explain so i only included the somewhat important info just for the sake of spacE.
