GOAL: My main goal is to play to the best of my ability, and to bring glory to God. He has given me the talent, and I always strive to use the talent for Him.

MUSICAL INFLUENCES:

David Crowder* Band Picture courtasy of www.davidcrowderband.com	David Crowder Band was one of the first Christian bands to use the music program I use called Reason. I have been very influenced by them and the way they use the program.

Most of my lyrical influence comes from writers like C.S Lewis, Donald Miller, and Rob Bell. I also have a heavy spiritual influence from the bible in my music writing.
