I was born and raised in Anaheim. Southern California was a great place to grow up during the 70's & 80's. Mom, Dad, Tom, Me, Scott and sister Laura. My older brother Tom was in a bass guitar player in a popular band so all that mattered to me at that time was girls, partying, and Rock and Roll. Everything (my heart) started to change in 1979 when I went to The Anaheim Vineyard back when they met at Canyon High School. A friend of mine Mike had begun to turn his life around and said it was his new relationship with Jesus. The second time I went I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior.

     I met and married the love of my life Roxanne in 1982. We have four great kids (young adults now) together. Brian Jr 24, Patrick 22, Sean 20 and Caitlin 17. It seems that now that the kids are older the Lord has been calling me out with my music. 

     I started writing lyrics in 1978 and bought my first guitar in 1985 and started writing music. I have served as a Worship leader at a Vineyard in Southern California, and from time to time played with Worship Teams after moving to Redding Ca. in 1988. In April of 2005 the Lord opened the way for me to lead Worship at the Redding Good News Rescue Mission, a Christ based homeless shelter. Jesus never ceases to amaze me at the Mission. God is so much bigger that we can even comprehend. His love, compassion, mercy, kindness, faithfulness, everything about God is so complete.     James 1:7 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow or turning."  Everything good in our lifes comes from God the Father whether it's a good meal, a car to drive, a roof over your head at night, a spouse, a child or a good song....God is the source and should get all the glory. I love playing at the Mission.
