I have been blessed to serve the Lord in music ministry for over 45 years and what an honor and humbling privilege it has been to serve God’s church.  My passion is to sing of His great love forever.  I am surrounded by a team of gifted musicians and singers each week who use their talents to serve the Lord.  I enjoy hunting, golf, reading and vacationing in the mountains with my family.
