I try to keep these “What’s New” updates positive and upbeat. I have a really cool job, but it does have it’s ups and downs. I enjoy telling you all about how God uses this ministry to do AWESOME things and lead people to Christ, but it does take me away from the family a lot, finances seem to be an unending battle, and once in a while we have a bad day on the road. Regardless, it's totally worth it. I will admit that I am a bit of a control...

Wow, has this summer been going sooooooo fast. It seems like the kids just got out of school and now we only have two more weeks of summer. What’s up with that? We have had a good summer. The ministry definitely slows down during the summer months and without us having the longer tours, it allows us to have some really nice family time. We were very blessed to have just spent a few days on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. We didn’t take any calls,...

July 4th came and went. It was a day of lots of food, fireworks and fun. It is a day to celebrate our countries independence. Both of my Grandfathers fought to help us keep that independence and so did a lot of other people. I am a VERY proud American and cannot think of any other country that I would want to live in. I do think that it is sad that a lot of people only think about our independence only once a year. So much sacrifice was made so...

Six and a half more days and the kids are off of school for the summer. I am not sure if they are more excited or if Kelli and I are more excited. We are looking forward to a great summer. The ministry will slow down a bit and not have longer tours until September, but that doesn’t mean we will not be doing concerts. The summer is still full of lots of opportunities to come out and see us. Most of the next three months will be in PA which is...

There are moments in life where we all get so busy and at the end of that busy time, we have not gotten anything we wanted to done. The last month has been running around clearing out Dad’s house and storage places, little tours and trying to keep up with office things. But right now, I really feel behind with a lot I have to get done. I never want to be “that guy” that is always busy, so our whole family is looking forward to getting back to...

Well, what can I say! The western tour was great. All of the concerts were good and God did some AWESOME things. Just in that 4 weeks on tour, we saw close to 200 dedicate their lives to Christ. That makes every mile and every second away from my family worth it. I feel so blessed to be a servant of God and to be used to further His Kingdom. All I really have to do some days, is stay out of Gods way and he does everything. I just never want to...

The time has come for us to head west. I am leaving in a few days to do a great western tour. Kansas, Oregon, Arizona, Missouri and Nebraska are just some of the stops we will be making. There should be a lot of familiar faces we see on this tour, but also some new ones too. Please pray for us while we are on this trip. Pray that God will use us in an awesome way to spread His love through the trumpet. Pray that there will be no problems so we...

I just got back from a tour down south that ended in Naples FL. I left there Sunday afternoon where the temperature was 84 and I was driving around with my windows down. Five hours later on that trip home, I still had the windows down but added a sweatshirt. Five hours from then….windows up, heat on and then by the time I got home, there was a thin layer of ice all over the truck and the temperature was 17. I did enjoy the warmer weather for a...
