Bio: The first thing i ever remember in my life was when my earth father died a month before i turned four. i did not grow up in the church, and that event totally rocked my world upside down. After a lifestyle of doing things i wasn't supposed to, God found me at Chinese Bible Church of Maryland (CBC) when i visited one time for Easter in 1997 when i was twelve years old. He showed me His true Love for me, and that there was nothing i needed to do to earn that Love, and that theres nothing i can do to lose that Love. i soon started being in the worship team as one of the background vocalists in the youth group. i did not have a strong voice, and i wanted to worship on my own with music so i thought to learn guitar. i learned a couple of chords and some songs, and my youth counselor wanted me to help with the worship team. Sooner after that in 8th grade, i started leading worship for the jr. high youth group, then for the entire youth group. It has certainly been a wild ride since and when God called me away from CBC (to go and work at Little Lights Urban Ministries), i thought that it was done for me to lead worship. Looks like God had different ideas and He led me to BridgeWay242 and i instantly fell in love with this church and wanted to serve them the best way i could... leading worship. God soon called 4 other guys, and we soon decided to make a band. i also go to Howard University and hope to be able to graduate in spring of 2008. God has truly blessed my life with an extremely strong mother helping me, and taking care of me. Sometimes i feel bad feeling so blessed, but i thank God for all these blessings and want to give them back to Him, and to be able to bless you all. So i hope you all are blessed!

May we see the blessings of God and give those blessings back to Him.

Bio: i grew up with music surronding me, but i've never been part of a formal band before His. i was part of Maryland All State choirs for 4 years during grade school and also lead worship at my high school Young Life; plus filled in here and there in other engagements. i started college as a music major before i switched to computer science, but even then i continued in my musical pursuits, recording 2 acapella groups, a few live events, 4 Show Choir DVD's, as well as beginning my own album...On the other side of things, i've been lovin' the Lord since 1998, even though He's been loving me a lot longer, and i recently married my beautiful wife Michele, on 12 August 2006. She has been graceful enough to let me continue to be part of His and be a senior editor at MacRumors.com during my spare time.

Bio: sprouting from the great Northwest, quickly finding a new and different world in the U.S.Navy. previously i have assisted in theatre productions; though various different roles to include acting, sound mixing, lighting, set construction and more; live music festivals and various music settings from traditional wind ensembles, marching bands, worship bands, and even prior cover bands with fellow Naval Shipmate's. Time for practic and the freedom to spend any reasonable down time after the events of 9/11, and a first of two consecutive blown bass amps, lead to a short break in the musical arena. Following over four years stationed on the Navy's finest Cruiser, the USS HUE CITY (CG-66), i'm now stationed in our nations capital. through a pathway of connections beginning at Calvary Church of the Nazarene/Little Lights Urban Ministries/Bridgeway242 was lead to connect with a wacky group of guys, that soon developed into His. The Lord is truly a glorious mystery.

Grew up in a large family but went solo afer pops moved North too much for my taste and brought me up from the south. Arlington has always been the block I stopmed on, only now, it's changing waaaaaay.... I married Jessica 20 August 2005 and she is now dealing with being married to "the drummer" and all the drama that comes with it. I've neaver played the drums before, but I'm learning as I go. I've heard worse...and they have record deals?
