Who I am Apart from Design

Even when I am not sitting at my workstation, I enjoy other creative endeavors such as musical composition and delivery. After 10 years of building my experience as a professional musician while opening for acts such as "Foreigner" and Jive Record's "Niki Cleary" I have been called to lead my church's worship sessions. It has been a humbling experience and have demanded an extraordinary search for wisdom as I continue to persue excellence in serving God's people.

My first musical passion is "vocal delivery." It must be passionate and appropriately composed to drive home a lyrical message to the heart of another person. The success of sharing the love of Christ through this means gives me the joy of fulfilling my God-given purpose. I have been given a vision of standing amidst the people of God at the feet of His unapproachable light... while leading the people in worshipful song.

The photograph above was taken in my former band's recording studio. It is my favorite photo because I feel it successfully portrays the sanguine part of my SangMel temperament during the labor of one of my greatest passions.
