MEET THE TEAM
Founder / Lead Consultant
I am a musician and pastor who enjoys using my unique skillset to enhance worship experiences for
church congregations. With 15 years of experience in live theater, both as a musician and as the musical director, I have a sharp ability to quickly assess new situations, team dynamics, and adapt to new environments. I specialize in supporting musicians and vocalists of many different experience levels.
My 20 years of experience in ministry, as both a musician and a pastor, also gives me a unique and holistic perspective. As a consultant, I support churches in strengthening their worship ministry, bringing my extensive knowledge and expertise to enhance the worship experience for congregations.
I currently reside in Rochester, NY with my wife and four beautiful children. I am the senior pastor at Shepherd’s Heart Christian Fellowship in Spencerport, NY. Allow me to bring my musical talent, leadership skills, and unique outlook to elevate your worship ministry to new heights!
