Bio:: From before I was in Kindergarten growing up in the farmlands of Nebraska, my Dad would have “the guys” over on Saturdays to play music and drink beers. There were the familiar sounds of the congas/drums, guitars and brass, playing some Latin beat that from a young age I told myself, I can play this stuff all night long. As the mid to late sixties rolled around, I figured that if I was going to be in a band I had to incorporate that same sound in the music I wrote. Along the way I became a Christian and expanded my writing style but not my music style and now I finally finished my first CD. The production of my music has taken some time. During the process, I’ve been in a band or two, raised a family and accomplished a few other things. All along the way, I have remembered to tell myself never to quit believing for what I want to see come to pass. So, I want to say thanks to my wife, my two sons, and my mother and to you for all the support and encouragement along the way. My songs are musically fashioned to be different from the usual Christian style in that it has a touch of Latin in it but still grounded on the scriptures we all know and love.
