Background: I was born and raised on Long Island . I did not grow up in a Christian home. On one winter evening on December 28th 1997 , I bowed before the Lord and repented of my lifestyle . I said goodbye to the worldly lifestyle I was living and left the secular music industry. Jesus became the Lord of my life and from that time, my talents and heart is to glorify Him in all that I do.

I'm a writer, worship leader, graphic artist, performer, and minister to the singles, young adults and young married here at Capital Baptist Church. I also lead a talented msuic group called Spirit and Truth based off of John 4:24.

I graduated from the Crane School of Music, Potsdam , NY , with a B.M in Music Education. I performed and served with the Marine Corps Band for four years after receiving my call to full time ministry, and then I joined the staff at CBC. During that time, I graduated from our in-house Capital Baptist Bible Institute, Liberty University School of Worship and Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in Lynchburg, Virginia .

At this great church, God blessed me with my beautiful wife, Jana and blessed us with a great family. We have laid our lives down to serve Christ in all that we do.

What I'm learning about God these days: God doesn't NEED me to do His work but He did CHOOSE me to be one of His instruments.

Life Verse: - 2 Timothy 2:3-4
