Studying classical music as a kid stinks.
What seven year old would rather practice scales and etudes than be outside playing?
I'll never forget the day that I heard some jazz chords on the radio in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. "What is that? I want to play that, not the stuff I've been playing…." And so began my journey into the world of jazz and a lifetime of pursuing music.
And what a journey it's been so far. I liked those jazz chords so much that I completed jazz piano degrees at U. of South Carolina (1999 BM - jazz performance) and then another one at U. of South Florida (2003 MM - jazz performance) while working as a full time musician. I moved to Houston, TX in 2004 and have had the pleasure of working for a few churches while pursuing a ton of other creative musical endeavors (composition, arranging, production, pedagogy). Along with that brought the opportunity to work with some of the best musicians both locally and nationally. As much as I ask, they won't let me borrow their Grammys…. Oh - and I was fortunate enough to meet my wife, Ana, through this whole music thing. But that's another story for another day.
In 2011, I gladly accepted an opportunity to be the Worship Pastor at our home church (cornerstonecbc.org) and absolutely love it. Being at Cornerstone allows me the privilege of leading a great team in worship each week as well as the freedom to continue growing and developing as a musician in outside projects.
It's exciting to see what all may lie ahead on this journey!
I look forward to the possibilities that an all-loving, all-powerful God may continue to make possible.
