I designed and created this website. I love to work on computers. I LOVE buses, Prevosts are my favorite. I love log cabins and cold weather. I skipped my Junior year of High School and graduated one year early. What has been your most embarrassing moment while traveling with Unity? My first full concert with Unity, I was so nervous and very young. We were singing in a big church, and I had a crush on the preacher's son. I forgot to use the bathroom before I got on stage and was a little more nervous than I thought. I had the solo on the particular song that we were singing, so I had to stand up there and just grin and bare it. By the time the song was over, there were two big spots on the church's carpeted stage. Needless to say, I was humiliated. What has been your most rewarding moment while traveling with Unity? Anytime I see people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.  That blesses me more than anything.  That's the whole reason I sing.
