25 years of recording, touring and growing up in the music industry, I've been called The Walking Encyclopedia of Gospel Music. I was born into a musical family almost 36 years ago, I got my love for collecting gospel music from my Grandmother on my Dad's side.

My love for Gospel Music started with the Happy Goodman Family, The Imperials and The Archers. It of course grew to many different artists such as The Statesmen Quartet, J.D. Sumner & The Stamps Quartet, The Blackwood Brothers, Petra, DeGarmo & Key, White Heart, Whitecross, dc Talk and many many more in the industry.

I hope you enjoy the things that I have to contribute. I spent my life learning about Southern Gospel Music and Contemporary Christian Music, from the Artists themselves and from the Record Labels that released their material. I enjoy talking about the rich history that both styles of music have contributed to U.S. History.
