About me

Gender Male
Location Pasadena, California, United States
Introduction I grew up in Illinois and went to college in Texas, graduating from Ambassador University and working there several years prior to moving to California. Janet and I met in Pasadena and are blessed to have four children. I was a publications art director for 20 years, and was always a "weekend warrior" - singing in bands since the age of 16. In more recent years I served on weekends as lead singer and worship leader for the praise band Higher Ground, of Higher Ground Music Ministries. During the week I work as a Technical Recruiter. My passion remains to thank and praise God in song, and to help others do so as well.
