"Whether it be through film, production, or music (or anything else), the fact that the Holy Spirit is willing to honor us as a conduit is absolutely stunning."-Brown Bannister, GMA Honors 2014
At a young age, I realized the power of sharing the Gospel through music. I believe that through this avenue people can come to the knoweldge or be brought to a deeper knowedge of Christ. At fifteen, I surrendered to the call to lead others in worship. Since then, God has allowed me many opportunities to step into this calling and expanded the platform He's given me in ways I never imagined.
I've led, co-led, and played with worship teams of various sizes and abilities for church services, youth events and retreats. I also traveled with an auditioned team during college. Additionally, I have had the honor of opening for worship artists including Dennis Jernigan, The Martins and Brian Free & Assurance.
My greatest privilege in life is using my gifts to further the work of the Kingdom. Nothing is more powerful than seeing lives changed through the power of the Gospel!
When I'm not leading worship you'll probably find me enjoying a good book, listening to the latest worship album, playing piano, songwriting and recording, spending time with family and friends, or out searching for a good cup of hot chocolate.
