Songwriting has been a life long study of mine. It's my passion. Let's write together.

“Strong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture – this is the bone and marrow of biblical worship.” - John piper

“Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness; the nourishment of mind with His truth; the purifying of imagination by His beauty; the opening of the heart to His love; the surrender of will to His purpose and all this gathered up in adoration; the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and source of all actual sin.” -William Temple

Glass Village is where it all happens. I have been producing and mixing records for 9 years now, and have developed a strong love for the art. Check out the studio page for more information!

I have studied cello and guitar for the past 18 years, and began my journey of composing and arranging 13 years ago. I continued my studies in 2008 when I decided to pursue a degree in Music and Composition at Gordon College. I then continued that degree at Clayton State University, and ultimately finished at Liberty University. I have been fortunate enough to study under world-renowned mentors and teachers. My current work includes compositions for artists, weddings, and films. My strengths are full symphonic orchestrations (modern and classical styles), indie rock, folk, and acoustic style writing.

"As a teacher of 10 years, I would be honored to assist you in developing your skills on your instrument, progressing as an overall musician, and finding a deep passion for this great form of art."
