I come from the Great Lakes of Michigan. #TCMI I began my college years at Western Michigan University before moving to Oklahoma City. After completing my vocal degree at Oklahoma City University, I was on the planting team for Crestwood Vineyard Church, where I served as the Worship & Arts Pastor for six years, and met my wife, Emily.
There can be a tension between sacred and secular music. I believe every place we tread becomes a sacred space. My desire is to see the sacred and the secular overlap more and more. During my time at Crestwood Vineyard, I curated shows for artists and created a venue in the basement of our old Baptist church building that we affectionally called βThe Basement at CV.β As a local musician myself, I enjoy playing songs in living rooms, coffee shops and bars alike.
As a follower of Jesus, I am passionate about unifying the Church and equipping worshippers in holistic worship. I created and led Worship School OKC at Crestwood Vineyard and partnered with the Avodah House of Prayer to develop Youth Worship Academy.
I served a global worship, missions and prayer movement for 7 years in various levels of leadership. The local expression of this movement was Burn 24/7 OKC. I stepped away from leadership in 2021 to focus more locally on the Kingdom of God through relationships in my everyday life.
From 2020 to 2024, I called All Saints Community Church home, leading worship on Sunday mornings. However, in May 2024, I felt called to embark on a new chapter.
Now, during the day you can find me at Walrus Audio selling boutique guitar pedals. I am also a disc golf enthusiast and novice cyclist. Thunder Up!
You can find my music on various digital music platforms.
