<div>I&rsquo;ve been playing Drums and percussion since I was 12, and started playing professionally when I was 14 (my first paying gig). I was a big fan of Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, and later Neil Pert amongst others. I attempted to emulate their styles, and ended up with a freewheeling&nbsp; Rock/ Jazz/ fusion conglomerate&nbsp;style. <br /><br />After High School, I spent twenty one years in the Army, and eventually retiring, I worked a few management and supervisory positions, but never felt fulfilled. I&rsquo;d found myself searching around for my place, for my &ldquo;reason for being". And now, having been re-awakened by the Lord, I found myself gifted (around 2005) with being able to play stringed instruments. I now have over thirty songs and over thirty more poem/lyrics (songs in the works). I guess the Lord wanted me to have this ability so I could more readily express what He&rsquo;s done for me!! <br /><br />I&rsquo;m in the midst of a theological course with the intent of earning my Masters Degree in Christian Apologetics. My music is my current ministry, but I feel the Lord has much more in store than that. So I&rsquo;m just along for the ride right now. There are some doors being opened, so, if your of the spirit, pray for my ministry. I've just taken on the mantle of praise and worship leader in Narrow Path Prison Ministries. Keep this in your prayers as well. <br /><br /><br />Thanks and God Bless <br /><br />Ron</div>
