If you could meet one person from the past or present, who would it be and why?   It would definitely be ELVIS PRESLEY!  I am a HUGE fan!  He seemed like such a cool guy and had a heart of gold. What has been your most embarrassing moment on the road? I have a lot of those haha.  The worst was when I was younger though.  It was my first full concert with my family, and I got a little too nervous and had an accident on stage.  I had to be excused while Mom sang a solo, go change on the bus, then come back and finish out the rest of the service. What has been your most exciting moment on the road? I went to hear my friends, The Hoppers, in concert one night. Claude called me up on stage with them, Connie handed me her microphone, and I got to sing her part on, “Yahweh” with them.  It was so much fun! What has been your most rewarding moment on the road? It’s always a joy to see people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, whether it be for the first time or rededicating their lives to Him.  That’s why I do what I do.  It is also cool to have people come up to me and tell me how much a song that I’ve written or my testimony has blessed and helped them.  That makes it all worth while.   BACK TO BIOGRAPHY
