I grew up in West Michigan. My first exposure to participating in church music was as a high school trumpet player. This led to my interest in taking up the organ and piano.  I first came to Florida as the Music Director at The Orlando Lutheran Academy in 2008.  While at the Academy I would occasionally play organ at St. Luke’s.  After leaving the Academy I spent 5 years as the Director of Worship at St. Andrew in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.  I returned to St. Luke’s in 2017 as the Assistant Director of Worship, later moving into the position of Director of Worship Gatherings.  I am extremely thankful to oversee an awesome staff of talented musicians and worship leaders.  It is a pleasure to serve in a church that embraces multiple worship styles while at the same time placing a continual emphasis on musical and spiritual excellence.  While not making music, I enjoy reading, films, and visiting with friends and family, especially my niece and nephews.
