produced by my good friend Steve Gomez, of my song " Promised Return ", which is about the return of Christ, won video of the year at Austin Community Television in 1999. Opening in Austin once for Stevie B. was kind of cool. When I used to tour a little bit, just seeing how the music blessed, inspired and sometimes challenged people was interesting I played in both secular and Christian venues. In clubs, people would react in various ways hearing about Jesus. In Christian venues, churches etc. I got some pretty interesting reactions from those folks at hearing techno / dance music! With regards to Christian talk radio, I ' ve had the opportunity to interview stars such as the guys from DC Talk, Jeremy Camp, Rebecca St. James, U. S. Senators, actors such as Stephen Baldwin, ministers such as Joel Ostein and Rick Warren. Everybody wants to be on radio!
Have you received any special awards or achievements? My music video for " Promised Return " won music video of the year at Austin Public Access Television. But, I ' ll get my biggest rewards in heaven.
Do you have any special events, shows / gigs coming up?

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 or 10 years? I hope to still be doing what I ' m doing and making a survivable living.
What would you like your legacy to be? That I brought joy, inspiration, good challenge and help to many through the power of Christ.
Do you have other interests? What services does your company offer? My talk show, Christian Talk That Rocks, exists in part to be a forum for discussing today ' s issues from a Christian perspective, showcasing Christian music artists and interviewing interesting guests with something to share that is either entertaining, relevant or informative. I also occasionally do voice-over work and minor recording projects as well.
