<p><strong>Born 1967 in Detroit, Michigan I was raised by loving parents who impressed in the clay of my childhood a belief in God's existence. Around eight years old we moved farther north to a town called Hartland. I graduated from Hartland High School in 1986. In December of 1986 by God's Grace I became a follower of Jesus Christ.</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>After a couple years at University of Michigan - Flint I moved to Pennsylvania and was married to my beautiful wife, Julie in 1989. Five children, multiple grandchildren, and various houses and pets later I now reside in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>For most of my adult life I have worked blue collar jobs, operated my own small businesses (recording studio, real estate investment), and volunteered in church ministry (Bible teaching, pastoring, leading worship, etc). </strong></p><p></p><p><strong>In addition to writing, I love guest speaking at churches, performing music, writing lyrics and working at audio production in my studio.</strong></p>
