I'm a music producer, songwriter, sound engineer, and worship director, and I'm a husband and new dad still figuring it all out.

Every Friday is Five Minute Friday. It's a short episode for the end of your week, with one thought, one story, or one idea you can take into the weekend, all in about five minutes. If you're a parent, a creative, or someone trying to hold faith, family, and work together, pull up a chair. New episodes weekly.

    Episode 59 - Five Minute Friday - 42

    I just turned 42, and for the first time a birthday didn't make me want to speed up. It made me want to slow down. This episode is about craving the pace of the sleepy town I grew up in, what fly fishing teaches me about patience, what it's like to start thinking about the end of the story, and making time to look inward.

    Episode 58 - Five Minute Friday - The Flu Stopped Me (And I Needed It)

    Episode 57 - Five Minute Friday - Los Angeles; Belonging, Community, and the City That Made Me

    My new single Los Angeles is out now, everywhere you listen to music. In this episode, I talk about what inspired it — the years I spent in LA in my twenties, the community of dreamers I found there, and what that season taught me about belonging.

    Episode 54 - Five Minute Friday - Living Fully: A Día de Muertos Reflection

    As Día de Muertos approaches, I reflect on losing my father nearly eight years ago and how that loss cuts deeper now that I'm a father myself. I share the haunting memory of his slippers by the recliner and coffee mug on the table—reminders that he thought he'd come back, but never did. My birthday this week sparked a realization: instead of worrying about how I'll be remembered, I need to focus on living fully right now—surrounding myself with the right people, being present with my kids, and making every ordinary day count. Because just like my dad's last day, we never know when ours will come. A personal conversation about legacy, memory, and living your one wild and precious life.

Featuring Derek Sivers' "hell yes or no" philosophy and the powerful distinction between surviving and living..

    Episode 52 - Five Minute Friday - A Season of Quiet

    In this episode, I reflect on how this season feels different—a time when I’m craving quiet in a world that never stops talking. From putting my daughter down for a nap to fireside chats and long walks with Denali, I share the simple, grounding moments that remind me what truly matters and how solitude can build real confidence.
