Welcome! I'm excited and honored that you are visiting my website.

On February 11, 2012, from little old Steubenville, Ohio, I released an album of Christian tunes that is called Unleashed. These are eight songs in total; seven of them I wrote, and another was written by friends. I recorded this album in a studio in Weirton, West Virginia over the course of six months, beginning on the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel of 2011. Mike Underwood, who did the recording work, also did quite a bit of guitar work on these tunes, including some quite awesome solos on tracks one and four (as they appear on the album, not the player above!) Other musicians you will hear are Joey Zamberlan on drums, Aaron Straney on bass, and Joe Zamberlan on keyboards. Erin Grace also supplies the lovely high harmony in the song "Holy Mary."

Every song has a story, and I love to tell the stories. Click on the Audio/Lyrics/Stories tab above to read about them.

The one Story I have to tell is about conversion to Christ. Once upon a time I was a Lutheran (of the WELS, Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod). When I was in college I joined an independent charismatic fellowship. A few years later I answered God's call to enter the Catholic Church. That was a pretty big leap for this former anti-Catholic. These songs were written all along this path. Conversion to Christ needs to be new every day. I want this music to help that be true in your life.

So -- click the player above to hear clips from each song. Give a listen,  read about the songs, browse around. If you like what you hear and see, please buy your own copy, and tell a friend. :)
