400 in choir

My first church

I had no idea what I was doing when I was directing this choir, but I learned a lot

We improved a little

No more robes & instruments out of the orchestra pit and onto the platform. We bought a drum enclosure and added lights. I got in trouble for ALL of these changes.

The rest…

I began leading worship “professionally” in Wichita, Kansas in 2003. I had no idea what I was doing. Literally. Like, none. Maybe you can relate? We learned a lot about transitions in church and what surrender really looks like.

Before Wichita, I traveled for the university I Attended to hundreds of churches and summer camps. I graduated with a degree in Management and Organizational Communication.

After working with choir and orchestra in Kansas, we moved to Indiana and worked with a fast-paced, creative church. There I developed my love for creativity, working with bands and learned how to integrate a choir into a modern worship setting. In Denver, we transitioned a traditional ministry model into a new, missional church. we sold a legacy building and led a remodel of a BRAND-NEW facility. we understand church transition.

Our musical travels have taken us to about every state and into Canada, South America and Europe.

I currently minister in tucson where we help lead a growing, dynamic church. we have the opportunity to guide a wonderful group of creatives and focus on church strategy and expansion. our ministry also includes working with churches across the US and serving several national conferences as a worship facilitator.
