is there more to following Jesus or less? is grace really enough, or do we really make God happy by getting up at 5 o’clock in the morning to read our bibles? is our devotion measured by the amount of devotionals we do or by the number of times we come crawling back to God, longing one more time to be drenched in the overflow of His grace? these are the questions that run through my head. hopefully they run through my music, too.



that’s probably why you’re here, isn’t it? the music. there is something about music that unifies us. even the things about music that we don’t agree on can lead us down a path that will eventually bring us together. music is history. music is family. i believe music has the power to bring us all to the table to feast, to dialogue, to reconcile, to celebrate, to mourn. these are the kinds of songs i hope to create. songs that move us toward journeying together. songs that unite. songs that motivate. songs that awaken a desperation inside of us. songs that whet our appetites songs that question. songs that move us closer to God.



the songs I write are born out of a personal journey. i like to say that i was born and raised in the middle - i was the middle child in a middle-class family in the middle of nowhere. there are no particular parts of my story that stand out. even when i made “mistakes” i tended toward the shallow end of the pool. i graduated around the middle of my class with average grades. my musical skill was enough to get me in to college, though not quite enough to maintain scholarships.



but the seeming blandness of my story is given flavor by this thing called grace. you see, i’m finding that grace doesn’t see our stories on a spectrum that ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous. it doesn’t discern between who is more or less lost. we never “sort of” sin. grace levels the playing field - grace is the plot of all of our stories. grace found me in the middle; maybe it found you off to the left or right. it doesn’t matter where - we simply must acknowledge that grace found us and moved us. that’s why i write songs. that why i sing and why i love to sing with you.



the rest is just details. i have a beautiful wife named buffy, an amazing daughter we call seraphim, and we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of another daughter in july. i am the worship pastor at flatirons community church in lafayette, co, a church that has helped me and thousands of people like me understand what it means to live and walk and breathe grace. i enjoy reading books and watching TV, and i like to pretend that i’m actually a football coach when I play college football on my XBOX. i have some of the most amazing friends on the planet, a handful of which i have had the pleasure of making music with over the years.



thanks for taking the time to read this. i hope we get to sing together very soon.
