I'm a lifelong resident of southern Illinois.  Born back in '82.  I've lived in 5 towns, went to 5 schools.  An 80s-90s kid.  My life spans four decades, so I've got a little of all of them.  I've played the piano since I was two.  I started in the Japanese Suzuki Method very young.  Made my debut with "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in 1985 and I haven't stopped since.  As a kid, I wasn't super athletic, but I loved playing outside.  Still do.

Always loved playing "business" when I was a kid.  Maybe a little bit Alex P. Keaton?  Family Ties is one of my favorite shows.  It relates life in the 80s.  So, while attending Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, I founded Computechnique, my little business.  Been at that ever since.

About the same time, God placed me as Worship Pastor at New Life Church in Benton.  I never thought I could be used in that way.  But God did.  And I've been at that ever since as well.

My newest thing is this page.  Hope this makes a bit more sense of me.  Enjoy looking around at my stuff.
