I was born on January 22 at St. Vincent’s Hospital in
Birmingham, Alabama. January 22 is the Feast of St. Vincent on the Catholic
Calendar. I think it’s interesting that I was born at a hospital named for a
Saint on the feast day of the Saint.
I spent my early
schooling at Erwin (Erwin Elementary, Erwin Jr. High, and Erwin High School) in
Birmingham. I took English as a foreign language and took Chorus, Intermediate
Chorus, Advanced Chorus, and Master Chorus. I was elected to the High School's
Who's Who (I was selected "Who's That") and awarded the Choral Award
(Surprise!). I played the piano for 5 High School Graduations. Finally, after
memorizing "Pomp And Circumstance", they let me graduate.
I continued my
education at Samford University, in Birmingham. I received a B.A. Degree and
majored in Religion and minored in Music. I continued with my education at New
Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where I received a Master of Divinity
(However I still can't master divinity candy).
I currently live in
Atlanta, Georgia. I am the proud father of 2: Royce and Jonathan. I have 2 cats: Nubbie and Gus. I stay busy
playing the piano for individuals, local theater productions and accompanying a choir at a local Methodist church.
I spent several years working in Southern Baptist Churches in Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia. I have worked as a Youth Director, a Minister of Music, and a Pastor.
I am currently
employed by John H. Harland in Atlanta. I work as a Mainframe Analyst. I do
computer support and programming in the Automated Check Order Department.
I enjoy the
following:
AUTOGRAPH
COLLECTING - Some of my favorites in my collection
include a photo and note from Jimmy Stewart, and an autographed copy of
"The Last Words of David" by Randall Thompson.
MUSIC, MUSIC,
MUSIC - I love writing music,
arranging music, playing music, and making music.
I am proficient
with the remote control. I am an award winning "Television Surfer". I
like working with computers and creating Web Pages.
