The world is full of people who have dreams of playing at Carnegie Hall, of running a marathon, and of owning their own business. The difference between the people who make it across the finish line and everyone else is one simple thing: an action plan.

I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up - blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff.

I spent another six years in Europe covering sporting events such as the Tour de France.

The real advantage for me is that I have the opportunity to lead worship every Sunday.

I come from the performance world, but the idea of a worship song is different. It's useful music.

When you have a 13 year old child, you suddenly realize that you may need to pick a vocation.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.
