Spent 8 years in Nashville, TN and had a few deals here in there culminating in a 2 year publishing contract as a staff writer for Cal IV Entertainment on Music Row - yee-haw! I loved my time in Music City and both my kids were born there. I toured a lot of the US with a band called 'the nobodys' and we enjoyed some radio success. In 2004 I moved to Washington to be the full-time Minister of Music & Creative Arts at a church I helped plant in March of that year called Common Ground Church (www.cgchurch.com). In 2007 God called me to start a new church as Lead Pastor in Dallas, OR where I've been working on continuing my songwriting craft which was the real force behind my 1995 move to Nashville in the first place. I guess you could say I'm where I know God wants me and I'm working on the art of the re-write (for songwriting).
