I begin by echoing the great apostle, St. Paul as he wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:2 and 5.

“For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified and resurrected.”

“That your faith should not be in the wisdom of man but in the power of God.”

I have been abundantly blessed to worship the Lord in Vienna, Austria; Prague, Czechoslovakia; Budapest, Hungary and to have been a worship leader from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania to my current position as Music Director at St. Finbar, Burbank, California.

After graduating from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma with a B.A. in Music with a double major in Percussion and Voice, I went on to pursue a Masters Degree in Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary. God then called me to be a worship leader and generously enabled me to work full time in varied areas of music ministry. I have served from a church Music Director to a worship leader at the World Prayer Center in Colorado Springs. I have sung the role of Jesus at the National Pastoral Musician’s Convention and served as the Director of Christian Services at Valentine Digital Recording Studios.

I am currently blessed to be the Music Director at St. Finbar Catholic Church, where I have been employed since 2004. Our vibrant, uplifting Liturgical worship targets all age ranges and musical styles and serves to draw all who attend into the presence of God. Our music at the church ranges from our entertaining annual production of the Christmas Opera “Amahl and the Night Visitors“, to our Spirit-filled Nights of Contemporary Praise and Worship, with many exciting and inspiring worship events in between. A professional recording studio, donated to St. Finbar Church, is now up and running and open to all who would like to book the studio for the purpose of recording worship CDs.

Each time Moses went to the Pharaoh with a message from God the message was always the same.

Let my people go that they may worship…” Exodus 8:20 9:1, 13 10:3

As Music Director of St. Finbar church this is my prayer -

May God draw people to St. Finbar church - “that they may worship.”
