God has blessed me with a wonderful life & work! - I sing, play, compose and record music, and perform concerts world-wide for a HIGH PURPOSE- to inspire people everywhere!

AND I HAVE A LOT OF FUN DOING IT! Just watch!....


I love Jesus Christ and He's my greatest passion. At one time in my life, I used to be an atheist, writing songs against God, and mocking Christians for their beliefs. I was busy pursuing my goal of music with everything in me. But when I was 18 years old studying music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, God INTERRUPTED MY LIFE and revealed to me the TRUTH about JESUS CHRIST. I asked Him to come into my life and reveal Himself to me. At that moment, God answered my simple prayer...and my life has never been the same!

Since then, God has taken me on an amazing journey. He's allowed me to write music that touches thousands, even millions of people, deeply in their heart and spirit, and to record albums that carry His presence to many remote and desolate places of the earth, into people's homes, broken hearts, and lost lives, and through the music HE CHANGES LIVES FOREVER!

In my journeys to over 40 countries, I've sung before groups and performed concerts for up to a million people at a time. In this song, "I Will Fight For You," I'm singing before a vast crowd of about one million Christians in Manila, Philippines, and it was broadcast simultaneously to millions more in other countries. The theme is, God fights the battle for all those who lift up the Name of Jesus! What makes it even more significant, is that this song was originally composed spontaneously during a previous concert I'd performed in a region of the world where being a Christian was very dangerous, and four filipino Christians had been behead because of their faith in Christ. It's powerful and has gone on to inspire not only people throughout the Philippines, but untold millions world-wide, who face severe persecution for their faith in Jesus Christ.


Music is my great joy, and WHEN I USE MY TALENT FOR GOD I CAN FEEL HIS PLEASURE!
I began playing piano when I was 3 years old, and was performing professionally at the age of 13. I LOVE letting the music flow through me!--feeling the joy of the beat, improvising jazz solos, pulsating with a good rock, dance or strongly-syncopated Latin groove...and ESPECIALLY receiving inspiration to write spiritual songs--these are what bring life to me!

I'm also keenly interested in spiritual, scientific, & sociological matters, especially those that cause me to appreciate how amazing God is - such as THEOLOGY or COSMOLOGY (studying the origins of the universe). I'm fascinated by the universe, earth, & creation, & delight in viewing natural & man-made wonders, photos (underwater, earth, universe) that make me appreciate the glory of God & His magnificant creation, whether on earth or in the cosmos.
I enjoy viewing Earth from space, and using Google Earth (http://earth.google.com). I have come to appreciate the historic & scientific progressive journey which mankind has embarked upon in our quest to observe, understand & grasp the universe around us, as well as the theories great minds developed along the way which have led to our current understandings of creation and the origins of the universe, such as the "Big Bang".

I've also met SO MANY amazing friends, from all backgrounds, who have taught me much about life! Many become special friends, and I enjoy spending time with them whenever I visit their cities. Sociology fascinates me! Wherever I travel I like to meet & hang out with the local residents, observing, studying and learning their customs, practices, behaviors, even their foods and special characteristics that make them unique and special. And through them, I learn to appreciate the greatness and diversity of God!

People say I'm down-to-earth, friendly, inspirational...and a lot of fun to be with. I always like to meet new people, and learn what is important to them. Whenever p

I want to meet people who :

-want to get the very most out of the few years they have on this planet

-are adventurous and WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK to find out and enjoy what an amazing experience LIFE really is!
When they get the chance,
to sit it out, or dance...
they DANCE!

People who love earth, sky, and sea (and everything therein), and are on a sincere quest to know the One who made it all!

-who take the time to smell the roses

-who are open-minded and realistic about spiritual matters

-who appreciate music (whether you sing or play is not so important, just that you love music

-I especially appreciate people who respect, honor and love Jesus Christ. He's done so much for me! And if He's done a lot for you in your life, I want to hear your story!
It doesn't matter
Who you are
Where you're from
or What you did...
You're IMPORTANT & I want 2meet you, & hear your own stories of triumph, challenge, adventure & enlightenment as you've travelled along life's journey. Hopefully we can become friends, and I can meet you, visit your place, maybe even sing a concert where you live. Show me around "your life"... and inspire me!
