I was born in Riverdale, Ga in September of 1979. I was raised
in Morrow, Ga till we moved in '89 to Stockbridge, Ga where I
still live to this day. I have listened to Gospel Music my whole
life. It started with my Great-Granddaddy Reid taking my
Grandmomma Stella to singings, then she took my Dad, and of
course my dad took me. Eight months before I was born my
Dad gave me a "big brother", he started his own quartet. The
Jonesmen Quartet have been a staple in my life and had been a
big part of my walk with Christ. In fall of '87, while at a
Catherdals concert in Boaz, Al, they introduced there newest
song, and it was this song that made me start to think about
who Jesus is, and what all he did for me. The song was
Champion of Love, and in April of '88, I accpected Jesus Christ
as my Lord and Savior. As a human and a sinner I haven't
always walked down the right path that I knew I should, but
Thanks to Christ and his love, he won't ever forget about me, or
turn his back on me. After a couple of years of doing those
wrong and bad things, three years ago I came back to the
Relationship with Christ (that never ended, I just turn my back
on him). He called me the church I attendend, Harvest Bapstist
Church. and renewed my life long passion to sing in a gospel
quartet. I lean on God more than ever now, and I know he will
never leave me or forsake me.
