A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I am also a husband, father of three boys, elder, worship leader and songwriter, preacher and aspiring biblical scholar.
I desire to use my creative passion, ideas and skills to literally change the world. Although, as someone wiser than me once said, “when you’re old, you’ll be content being able to change your own shirt.”
