I was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, the baby of eight. I grew up in a home that always had music playing. (Thank you Mom and Dad!) My cousin gave me my first drum set, an old junky four-piece. In my early teens, I started playing in my bedroom upstairs and from there moved on to jamming with my cousins. And so the story goes. I moved from Massachusetts to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where my brother and his wife introduced me to the Lord. After a time of growing and learning, I got involved in the music ministry at my church. I've played drums for sixteen years, as well as been involved in different ministries, including youth ministry and small group ministry.

Currently, my wife Nicole and I are working with the children's ministry, and I am singing with the praise and worship team. We have five children, who are the joy of our lives. In my spare time, (whats that?) I enjoy working out, playing golf and tennis, and playing my drums. I even occasionally go to the mall with my wife. NOT! Just kidding. And then there's the kids – football, basketball, hockey, soccer, Playstation, wrestling on the floor. Oh, did I forget to mention that I also have two dogs? Big dogs. Boxers. They like to wrestle too. While everyday life can be busy and full of ups and downs, my hope and my passion remain the same – to see the manifestation of God’s presence like never before, where we are nothing, and He is everything. May I be a living sacrifice for His glory.
