Department: Worship

Areas of Ministry: Music Production

Family: My wife, Debbie; 3 Kids: Kristen, Jarrod and Patrick; Kristen is married to Rob and they have a son, Ethan.

Saved: 1983 at a Full Gospel Businessmen’s Meeting. It was held in a small meeting room at a hotel in Macon, Georgia. I was ready for a change in my life and God was faithful. The next morning, I woke up and was truly not the same person. Amazing!

Education: Associates degree in Mechanical Drafting from Flint River Tech; three years at Southern Technical studying Architecture; Basic Recording degree from Full Sail University.

Previous Lines of Work: I worked in the mechanical drafting field for four years; however, after my salvation, God began to open doors that were connected with my passion (guitar, music, recording and mixing). For the past 20 plus years, I have been following that passion. As a mix engineer, I first worked for WSFJ Christian Broadcast in Ohio for four years. I then took a job as the remix engineer for Breakthrough, Rod Parsley’s television broadcast. After five years with World Harvest Church in Columbus, Ohio, I went full-time with my own production company, “Majesty Productions.”

One of the Things I Find Most Fascinating: That anyone ever thought of the idea of capturing sound waves and then recreating them.
