I have been blessed to share my music in a live setting in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Arizona, Nicaragua, Peru, and Mexico. 

Having recorded over 50 original songs (with more on the way), I am able to offer your community multiple uniquely themed concerts that are best offered in sequential order but also work well as one time individual events.

Each concert offers unique songs, personal stories, and truths of the faith connected to my music. In addition to a concert, I also offer prayer options which allow your community to worship God in a unique way through contemplative music and prayer. 

My events are meant to be catechetical in that the good news of the Gospel is interwoven creatively between my music and my story, which both include connections to Scripture, the Saints, and the goodness of Jesus. 

The events that I offer are perfect for Catholic schools (All ages), Religious Education programs, Retreats, Camps, Families, and everyone in the Parish. 

The themes of these events are inspired by Bishop David Ricken and the Green Bay Diocesan Mission, which can be found here: https://www.gbdioc.org/diocesan-vision-mission
