Somewhere along the line of graduating college, entering the "real world", and trying to "settle down"... life has seemed to find a way of getting busier and busier. From raising 4 boys under 8, to struggling to find a purpose and meaning within a traditional career, I found myself caught up constantly striving, and worrying so much about tomorrow that I was forgetting how to be present...needless to say, I needed a change!

During this season I came across a familiar verse, that hit home a little differently - Ecclesiastes 3:11 - "He has made everything beautiful in its time."

Rather than trying so hard and pressure myself to get to the end goal and "keep up with the Jones'," I decided to make a conscious choice to focus on what really matters; the things that make my heart sing - relationships, pursuing God and following the passions of my heart which happens to be encouraging others through songwriting.

My hope is these melodies and lyrics give you that extra jump start to your day. With a sound like Jason Mraz meets Jason Gray, you'll find upbeat acoustic pop with introspective lyrics. I've been blessed to open for Sanctus Real and Jeremy Riddle and others. "Get There When We Get There", a group of songs meant to encourage to find peace in God's timing while enjoying the journey - will be released as singles over a few months starting June 28, 2019.
