I made an album of original songs called "Unvarnished Truth." It is, in a sense, a concept album. It is not praise and worship music. I helped form and was in a praise band at church for several years. I have played for years at retreats called "Walk to Emmaus." sharing just those kinds of songs. But, in my own walk with the Lord, I find that my experience has been less than the idyllic one presented in so many Christian songs. I have had my share of trials and times of honest doubt and so have a lot of my Christian brothers and sisters. I don't feel like I've arrived as a perfect Christian. So, could I glorify God by trying to portray the ups and downs of an authentic Christian journey in song in hopes the music would touch those who are still trying to find the Lord? This song epitomizes that theme. The jury is still out.

This song is about thanking God for being with me in good or bad and saving me. I'm a rocker at heart so if you can hear the rock tones in my head you would get it. There is a guitar solo in here and I am NOT a soloist so please don't criticize that

The story of my life after losing my son Brandon in a car accident. Everything went down hill from there. Not only did someone try to take my life in a car jacking attempt only 4 months after Brandon's passing, but I also lost a few very close family members within the space of 2 years. I felt like I was being attacked both spiritually, emotionally and physically by the enemy himself (Satan). However, I never gave up on living and my faith in God and the tightness of the relationship I share with my wife and daughter are the reasons why I'm still here and feeling stronger today. I do believe with all my heart that God has a powerful purpose for me, and that my music is one of the mediums through which I must fulfill his purpose.

Still working on the title of this song but the theme is about how Jesus never changes. It doesn't matter whether we're in Spring (season for planting), Summer(growing/hidden), Fall (harvesting), or winter (hibernation) Jesus never changes.

Co-written at a mountain-side retreat with Kristi Fitzwater and Chris Pitonyak. This song is a tender-hearted reminder of the ransom paid on our behalf. Let us remember why God chooses to forget.

He came to his own but his own rejected him. He was born a King without a earthly kingdom.

Marriage is hard. And harder still is trying to heal and go back to where you were before all the hurts happened. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken, and with God's help, you can find newness and restoration. Co-written with Lori Wilbins

This work began as an instrumental. One day I began singing the text of the Lord's Prayer along with the melody and it took me on a breathtaking journey. As if the two were written for each other. Neo-classical in styling and haunting in tone.
