I started playing the guitar when I was 12. My dad taught me to play. He is and was a big classic rock fan. As well as a Paul McCartney fan. So I got some great guitar lessons just by listening to music. I was always a big Christian music fan. A big part of learning for me was just sticking in a tape or CD and trying to play along. DC Talk was great for that. I started playing and leading worship for my youth praise band growing up. I had a band with in Missouri with the guys from my youth group. H.O.G. Rocks!! After high school I was busy at the church my parents pastored and also worked full time at Lowe's. Yes, I sold lots of lumber. I still remember a few item numbers. Not long after that I joined up with the rest of the guys in MercyMe and have not looked back since. I still enjoy making music and writing songs. I look forward to what the future brings.

Hello everyone! Well I was made aware, by some very dear friends of mine, that it was time for me to do a new post. Which I cannot argue with them, it has been a while. The tour has been going great and will be wrapping up very soon. After the last show on the 22 in Southhaven, MS we head straight to Nashville for GMA week. This is the week here all of us artists in the Christian music industry come together in Nashville to spend time with radio stations and other vendor's. It is really just an excuse for us to see friends that we do not get to see the rest of the year. It is also when the GMA Awards, formally the Dove Awards, takes place. We will be performing Hold Fast this year on the show so that should be fun.
As soon as that week is over we head for Hawaii!! We have the honor of joining Audio A for their last show which i think they chose a beautiful place for. Our families are going with us so that should be lots of fun.
After we get back from Hawaii we will begin working on a new CD which we are not sure when it will come out but we will let you know. I am also continuing my secret mission during the summer, so keep an eye out for that.
Alright, time to go do my push up's! Man i am getting old! haha.
