I have been incredibly blessed to fulfill so many dreams as a musician.
I took it for granted for so many years . . . . . not any more.
I thank God for so very many treasured memories
of countless amazing moments.
I recently completed the musical scoring for THE CORRIE TEN BOOM MUSEUM located in Haarlem, Holland. I composed and recorded the music for the Museum Virtual Tour at their online website, as well as the walking tour at the actual location in Holland.
Due to the remarkable story of the Ten Boom family, being commissioned to create the music for this project
is one of the greatest privileges of my entire life and career.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITE!
For more than forty years - I have had the joy to perform in concert halls, theatres and churches of every description across America and beyond -
as a band member and vocalist with many wonderful artists and friends.
Here are just a few of those great people with whom
I've had the opportunity to share the concert stage and/or the studio over the years.
Their friendship is a treasure and the memories are priceless.
