About

I’m a Worship Arts Pastor in the Great Northwest. I’ve been leading worship in the local church for about 10 years. I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve got a lot to learn, but I’d like to share my thoughts on Worship Arts Ministry and Leadership with you.

I’m also married to my lovely wonderful wife Bekki & have a daughter – Hannah, who is two and we have a son – Henry who was born in April. I’m very fortunate to be living the life I’m living.

I’ll also share other random thoughts about life and other things that relate to life, worship arts ministry, leadership or nothing at all.

I hope you enjoy reading my posts, feel free to leave me a comment, or contact me.
