What is the best thing about being an artist? Connecting with people no matter where they are in their own personal journeys. This personal connection is SO special.

What is the worst thing about being an artist? Eating fast food all the time and paying for gas!

Biggest career embarrassment: Being mistaken for Chris Daughtry -- I thought they wanted to get MY autograph (just kidding)!

Most memorable career concert: Sharing the
stage with Switchfoot at Rutgers University in front of 4,000 people.

Most memorable moment in creating your
most recent record: Standing in the vocal booth recording tracks with the producer and having a joyful, thanksgiving moment with God; thanking
Him for the opportunity and begging Him to use the music as a sweet sacrifice to bring glory to HIS name.

What is your favorite hometown hangout? At my
house, playing xBox with my son or watching movies.

What is something you want others to know
about you? I'm just an ordinary person with extraordinary dreams, some people call it being crazy, I call it really living!

How did you get into the music industry? Always drawn to music (played piano, flute, french horn, trumpet as a kid). Just pursuing my passion for creating and performing music and using it to connect with people.

Favorite vacation spot: Anywhere with my fam!

Favorite food: Sausage, egg & cheese on a freshly baked "everything" bagel (has to be a NY bagel, they're the best in the world!) My favorite bagel place is Hot Bagels Abroad (Bloomfield, NJ). They have the
BEST BEST bagels in the world.

Favorite drink: Java Chip Frappuccino from Starbucks

Guilty pleasure: TV Shows: Heroes, Fringe, The
Office; watching DVD movies from RedBox (only $1 a night) bundled up with covers on the couch with my whole family.

Worst fear: Heights. Not sure if my "worst" fear. I learned this when I was working for a friend who installed pre-fab fireplaces. It's pretty scary climbing on the roofs of unfinished houses (only plywood) that are covered with a bunch of snow and ice.

What was your very first job? Delivering
newspapers and mowing lawns.

Choose one adjective to describe your music
style: Passionate
