I bought my first music keyboard in the late 1990's. I began music composing as an experiment. I reasoned that it would be easier for me to play my own music. I later discovered that I was more talented with the creative side of music making. The multi-talented arrangers, music composers, singers and musicians of the past, who knew how to blend two or music styles into a song or an album have influenced me most relative to composing and musical arrangement. I usually write my songs using the "new movie" approach versus the "movie sequel" approach.
Each song I write is written with the determination that it will not sound like a remake of every other song I've written. There is an exception to this rule when I write a Part 1 and Part 2 version of a song. There will probably be some similarity between the two versions. In the case of Climbing Higher 1 and Climbing Higher 2 on my first cd release, there were two directions I wanted to take that song in. Overall, Climbing Higher 1 and 2 have different introduction notes, mid sections and endings.
It is the goal of this easy listening instrumental music composer to:
1. Create and release music that will bring glory to God.
2. Create and release music that will appeal to individuals of different ages and nationalities.
3. Create and release music that will stand the test of time, i.e., music that will remain appealing and enjoyable regardless of how old the songs are. Enjoy!

Statement Of Faith
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; the only begotten son of the Father (John 3:16, John 1:14). He was with God in the beginning (John 1:1). According to the scriptures, I believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:26-38). Jesus was crucified for the sins of humanity (Romans 5:8-11) and rose from the dead on the third day (Matthew 28:1-7). After Jesus' resurrection from the dead, He ascended into heaven (Luke 24:50-51); and is seated on the right hand of God the Father (Colossians 3:1, Hebrews 1:3, I Timothy 3:16). Futhermore:
1. There is only one way to obtain righteousness (salvation) with God (John 14:6, Acts 4:12).
2. There will be a day of judgment (Rev. 20:11-15), ( II Timothy 4:1).
3. All will give an account of themselves to God (Romans 14:11-12).
4. There will be a resurrection from the dead of the just and the unjust (Daniel 12:1-2).
5. Each individual will be rewarded by God according to their works (Revelation 22:12), Matthew 25:14-46).
6. It is God's will that all be saved (II Peter 3:9).
7. The bible is the inspired word of God II Timothy 3:15-16, II Peter 1:21.
8. Hell is a real place of existence Luke 16:19:-31, Rev. 1-18, Revelation 20:12-15.
