Enjoys: Symphony concerts, Broadway shows, electronics and hi-tech equipment, and leisure days with the family.

This is what I love about my present job: It is my joy to have the privilege and excitement every Sunday to be a part of leading people into the presence of God Almighty and worshiping Him. I love all varieties of music and that is the praise that I offer before God.

A Bible verse with special meaning: So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death. (Romans 8:1-2 NTL)
