Had a great time at this year's fly fishing trip with Saint Pat's. This year we fished the Big Thompson and had Kirk's Fly Shop put on a clinic for those new to the sport. Before putting together this short video I managed to catch 3 really nice browns. See you next year!

We have our own custom hymnal at St. Pat's, the church where I serve as music director. It's been a while since I've added new hymns but I've been recently inspired to do so. One such hymn is "Lo He Comes" rewritten by my friend Zac Hicks from Denver. If you haven't heard it or his other hymn rewrites, check them out!

Doing a bit of digging on the origin of the tune "The Messenger" I found this nice clip of Randal Bays & Dave Marshall. The Messenger is the second tune in the set was composed by Joel Bernstein.

Pianist & composer friend Peter Romero and I just finished writing our first book together!
