Background...
Seems
like I've always been playing music but it started when I was a young boy growing up in Oregon. There was always a guitar
or piano around so I started piano at 7 and guitar around 11. I grew up in church where Mom played piano and we sang hymns
but I didn't get a passion for music until around 1970 when I was touched by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. That
got me hooked on worship and I started learning and growing as a musician and worshipper. In 1976, I married my beautiful
wife, Ann, and we began our journey in Christ together. We were blessed with 2 wonderful children and now we have two grandchildren.
The journey has taken Ann and I through several churches in Oregon and California where I served in various roles
from musician to worship leader and even pastoring. This journey in worship and ministry has given me some wonderful moments
and some huge challenges. I am thankful for everything God has brought us through and looking forward to all that He has for
us going forward.
At present, we are involved at Higher Vision Church in Santa Clarita,
CA (http://highervision.church/). It is a privilege to be a part of what God is doing in worship ministry these days. My role has changed from being the
front person to more of background role in support of those that are developing their gifts and ministry skills but I enjoy
beig able to encourage and support the talents and gifts of the next generation.
I have
my own business providing construction management and consulting services (http://www.raconsulting.cc/). I am blessed to be able service the construction related needs of several churches in the Southern California area as well
as other clients. God has blessed the business tremendously for which I am thankful.

Additional notes from me about the songs:
As I Praise Your Name - the song is about what goes on inside when we give praise to the Lord. It's about
focus and being real and at the same time letting go and being free to express yourself.
My
Soul Longs - this song comes out of deep longing to offer God something in worship even though the greatest offering we
can make doesn't begin to compare with what He has done. In the end, all we can do is worship Him.
Forever
You Are Lord - This worship song is about an awesome God and no matter what people want to believe or what they say
He will be Lord forever. He will always be bigger and stronger than anything else in this world.
