I know I keep saying I'm going to post more here and then it never happens. So here's the deal on what's going on right now: nothing is going on right now. In fact I think I can officially say I'm on a temporary hiatus from music. It's kind of a long story why so I'll try and make it short and simple.

About a year ago I took a new day job in the city. It was an opportunity I didn't think I could pass up at the time. The downside was that I knew all things music were going to have to take a backseat for a while. What I thought would only be a few months really turned into a year. While the job was a great opportunity, over time the sacrifices I made began to overshadow the job. It was a great learning experience in many many ways, and I decided it was time to leave to try and get back what really matters. Thankfully I was blessed and offered a job by my church to be their sound engineer. I've been doing that for about a month now loving every minute of it. Outside of work I'm just slowly trying to put things back together.

As much as I miss playing, I think I want to take a little more time off. And that's not easy for me to do because just looking through some of the old photos on the website gets me excited about playing again. My writing has been on and off, and maybe I have a few new songs I could start playing. But I'm not sure it's the direction I want to go in anymore. Time will tell...

But in the meantime I'm just going to be taking some time off. I don't know how long. There might be an acoustic show here or there, but my focus right now is to just spend more time with my wife, family, and friends. I apologize if this isn't what you were hoping to hear. I know it drives me nuts when my favorite bands take forever between releasing new material, but now I'm starting to understand why that is a little better.

You probably won't see an update here for a while. If you want to know when things are moving forward again make sure to subscribe to the newsletter because that's where you'll hear about things first.

Thanks for all your continuing patience, love, and support over the years. I WILL see you soon! Enjoy the summer!
