The first music I remember singing as I grew up in north west Ohio, is when I was a little boy of 4, and 5 years old at Grandma’s house. We would go to church on Sunday morning and then go to her house and have dinner. When dinner was over we would all gather around the piano, (Dad, Mom, and Aunt Minnie, all my brothers, sisters and cousins that were big enough). Then Grandma or Aunt Minnie would play songs like “This Ole House” and “Ten Thousand Angels” and it seemed like ten thousand more songs would be played. We would all sing just as loud as we could for as long as we could. Well that was the beginning. Then as I got a little older I would get up every Saturday morning at 6:30 AM and watch “The Gospel Jubilee” on TV with my Dad. I would listen to him sing every song and he would just come alive with the music of southern gospel. Then somewhere along the way, whether I was aware of it or not, God was grooming me and setting the stage for what he had planned for my life and the work I would do for Him one day.
Well, a long story short, 40 plus years ago I began singing. I left my religious roots, although I don't think I ever forgot them. I went out into the world and sang for everyone but the Lord. It has taken me most of my adult life singing for the world, to finally get to where I am now. I came back to Christ and started singing for Him May 18th of 2004. From New York to Texas, Michigan to Louisiana and even North Dakota I have sung in churches, nursing/assisted living homes, county fairs, conventions, campgrounds and community events. I have appeared on the Gospel Hour TV program in Ft. Wayne, Indiana; Live Wire on Christian TV 44 in Lima, Ohio and
2 Bahama Gospel Cruises. I have also recorded 3 CD projects for the Lord. I serve an awesome God and I will go where ever he leads me. I thank Him for blessing me with this talent to serve Him with. My hope is to reach out to you, and give you a moment of encouragement, hope, and a peaceful feeling that will lead you down the path the Lord has prepared for you.
