I was born and raised in Modesto, California and moved to southern California in 1998 to attend Cal State Northridge.  After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in communications, I taught middle school English and high school Speech at Hillcrest Christian in Thousand Oaks for three years.  Teaching was cool but I wanted to give music a shot and that’s what I’m doing today.  I lead worship at Christian Church of the Hills in the morning and at Journey (West Valley Christian Church) in the evening.  The rest of my time is spent pursuing a career in music, writing and recording songs.  Oh, and I will destroy you at Scrabble should you be willing.
