I grew up in Excelsior, MN in a very musical family and learned how to play guitar and sing at a very young age. I have many years of professional experience in music and performance starting at age 15. This includes 13 years of being a director of contemporary music at Lutheran Churches. I am married to an amazing woman (Jess) and have three children: Max, Jozey, and Aydin. We moved to the Champlin area a few years ago and have quickly made it our home. We are a family that loves music, loves dancing, loves lakes, streams and waterfalls, loves to travel, that loves our neighbors; and that believes in volunteering and serving because we believe we embody Jesus every time we do a good deed or perform an act of kindness.
