When I was growing up I always pretended to be Christian. We where all encouraged to go to church on Sunday Mornings and the rest of the week I didn't think too much about it. We where a very musical family and would go and sing in different Church's. As a child I never accepted God.

Then as a Teenager I really got lost. Learned the guitar, got stoned out of my mind, buried my head into a wall of amps, and sang songs like "Highway to Hell", for almost 15 years. "I didn't need God��?, "God was for the weak", man I was hard core!

After years of going around and round in the music scene, I had completely drained my soul. Life was not good.

Then one day I was invited to a friends Wedding. I walked into that church. This was the first time I had been in a church for I don't know how long. I really felt convicted. I thought that lighting was going to strike me just for walking in that door. I went home and thought about what had happened. If there was nothing to it, then why did a feel that way? I'm not saying that I was cured of all that ailed me but it was a turning point. Shortly after that I quit taking drugs, quit singing in bars, started singing in churches, and helping people with similar problems.

Now I'm old as dirt, 47, own a recording studio in North Texas. The primary musical focus has changed these days from "the artist" to "the producer". Now I work with artists of all Genres’, young and old. Most of them are Christian but not all of them. I use the opportunity to work with non-Christian artists to witness to them. I don't beat them over the head with God because I know they will tune you out at that point. Rather I stick to my convictions, morals, and principles in order to show by example that it is never to late to change your life.

God Bless
