When my father passed away in April of 2008, I was devasted. But it started me on a grief journey that has led me to creating music in his honor and memory that I hope will help others in similar situations. Above all, I wanted his memory to live on, through the music and ministry that were born in my heart during those dark days. This website and this music have helped me move through the stages of grief, and I pray they will do the same for you. You are not alone...

He cut a dashing figure as a young soldier and by his own admission, went from party boy to man of the world as a result of his stint in the service. Here with my equally dashing aunt, Petie, his beloved sister.
