Part of My Story

​

I found myself in Worship Ministry by "accident"...when I was 16, me and my sister auditioned for a fundraising concert that our youth group was planning. Our youth pastor heard us singing and playing, and asked us to sing in the youth service the next week. 

​

Nothing God does is an "accident".

​

From there, growth and ministry opportunities opened up for me.

​

Whether it was youth services, performance opportunities, weekend worship services, festivals, special events, or worship staff positions, I simply walked forward through most of the doors that opened.

​

About 10 years ago, during my time on the worship staff of a large church in the Charlotte, NC area, I was diagnosed with a partially paralyzed vocal cord.

​

I was surprised, concerned, worried, shocked, uncertain, and disappointed, among other things.

​

I began vocal rest and vocal therapy, and started to dig in and learn 1) how did this happen 2) how can I do my part to make sure this doesn't happen again

​

PRAISE THE LORD I made a full recovery. And what I learned through that process showed me what I had been doing wrong, and what to do right in order to sing better AND SAFER for as long as possible. 

​

Again, nothing God does is an "accident"

​

As I healed and learned, I met other Worship Leaders and Worship Singers who were also experiencing vocal cord injuries or voice issues that were keeping them from singing and ministering to their full potential. 

​

The vocal training side of worship ministry just isn't taught or passed down from Worship Leader to Worship Leader. 

​

I want to change that.

​

Part of my mission has become to teach as many Worship Leaders and Worship Singers as I can how to sing better AND safer AND with the long term in mind.

​

Taking care of the gifts that the Lord has given us is an important part of the stewardship He has called us to.

​

Is it difficult at times? Yes

​

Is it hard work? Yes

​

Does it take some practice and commitment to stay diligent and consistent with it? Yes

​

But your voice = His ministry. 

​

Take care of what you can, bring your best, and He will take care of the rest.

My Professional Experience

I've been a pro singer since I was 11 yrs old, a worship leader for 20+ years, I'm an award winning songwriter, and I've coached numerous vocalists over the last 10 years.

What About You?

​

I'm committed to bringing my best, and I'm committed to supporting YOU as you work to do the same with your unique voice and ministry!

​

There's a really intriguing verse in the Bible that talks about bringing our "muchness" to God (Deuteronomy 6:5). I love the picture this paints - bringing our talents, our giftedness, our taste, our style, our past, our struggles, our mistakes, our wins, our hopes, every part of us TO HIM to use FOR HIM.
