Who Am I?

Greetings!

I am a "First Tuesday" Blogger. I understand I was supposed to do an "intro" post, before my initial post. I am sorry to have overlooked that courtesy. I will write about music, of course. Of particular interest to me are intersections of music, culture, and worship.

Let's see . . . So much to tell, so little space to tell it . . . Where to begin?

When I was a senior in high school, I prayed about where I should go to college and what I should major in. Shortly after that I felt led to major in music. I studied piano and voice for four years and eventually landed a job in computers. Not exactly where I thought I would end up! Along the way, I found my way to a Pentecostal Church and also met the woman who would become my wife. It has been a difficult road for me at times, a classically trained pianist, thrown into the unfamiliar world of playing by ear. I am learning to play all over again!

I recently went through a master's program at the Urshan Graduate School of Theology (distance learning), enjoying it very much. I wouldn't mind going on for another degree at some point, but so expensive not to mention time consuming!

My little boy just turned two and has an unbeatable smile. I am fortunate to be able to take care of him every Tuesday (my wife and I both work outside the home). So here we are! Thank you for the opportunity to dialogue with you.
