I was born and raised in southern California, Manhattan Beach and Westminster, and spent the first part of my adult life in northern California, (Albany, Glen Ellen, Napa, Santa Rosa). I also lived in Garland, Texas for about three years, and I've been in Tennessee, Dunlap, Clifton, Collegedale, and Chattanoga since 1986. My favorite pastime is playing guitar and singing. I also write songs, mostly gospel and scripture songs, but I also cover Christian and pop songs with a good message.
