As the Director of Worship Music, Arts & Technology, I oversee the creative planning of worship services and special events. I collaborate with an amazing team of musicians, visual artists, actors, sound, media and video technicians to create dynamic, engaging and relevant worship experiences for our church and guests. I am also a member of the Ministry Council at Faith Community Church where all of our department heads seek to work in cooperation and strive towards our common goal of guiding people to a deeper relationship with Christ and a greater love for others.
Interesting facts about my family or me
I am married to my best friend Nancy. We started dating on Nancy’s 17th birthday, dated throughout college and were one of the last couples married in the old church building on Main Street in Hopkinton. We have four daughters. They keep us busy between dancing, soccer, gymnastics, piano, violin and cello lessons. It is a great season of life for us.
What’s on my iPod
The entire U2 collection, and of course tons of Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche and Hillsongs United. But I also enjoy some of the lesser know worship leaders like Matt Maher, David LaChance, John Waller and Michael Gungor. I have to admit I also have some INXS, The Clash, Counting Crows, Jack Johnson and Brand New Heavies on there too.
Some of my favorite books, TV shows, movies
Books: Until We Have Faces, Lord of the Rings, A Severe Mercy, The Historian, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones
TV shows: Parenthood, Prime Suspects, and the UFC

How I like to spend my free time
Going to my girls' events, concerts and competitions, reading Leadership/Worship books, working around the house, exercising(when I have time).
Favorite vacation spot
Lake Placid has some great mountains to climb and swimming holes. As a family we have enjoyed the beaches at Cape Henlopen, DE, and Cape Cod, MA. But my favorite spot is the front porch of my house with a cup of coffee.
Something I’d love to do again
Cruise to Bermuda – Nancy and I honeymooned there 15 years ago. I hope we get to return someday.
What I enjoy about Faith Community Church
Watching people come to Christ, grow in Christ and find their purpose in Christ. I love working alongside friends to make a difference in the lives of people.
