Quote: “My job is to keep those who pay me happy.”
Personal Info: I’ve been a musician since age seven and began learning audio engineering at age 11 through church, school and college. I went on my first tour when I was 17, and my concerned mother gave the band I was traveling with a permission slip in case any medical problems ever arose… none ever did. I started touring fulltime at age 19 and continued for three years. Then I worked almost two years fulltime at Willow Creek Community Church as an audio engineer. I married my wife Jamie, and a month later, began touring full time again, which is where I have been for the last year and who knows for how long. I’m fortunate enough that my wife will sometimes spend several days on the road with me.
