Email me

Michael is a pianist, organist, conductor, and life-long church musician. He grew up in Southern California and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (culture shock much?) before heading to North Park University in Chicago to complete a degree in piano performance. He went on to obtain the Master of Church Music degree in Organ Performance from Concordia University Chicago, and is currently pursuing a doctorate in worship studies at the Institute for Worship Studies in Jacksonville.

An active and sought-after musician of unique versatility, Michael’s musical endeavors have taken him across the United States and Europe. He has held positions with the renowned St. Charles Singers, the King’s Brass, and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra Gospel & Spiritual Ensembles, among others. He is a passionate advocate for music education, and has been influential in the founding of several parish-based community music schools. As a worship leader, he desires nothing more than to use God’s gift of music as a vehicle for the Word of God that brings people to saving faith in Jesus Christ, and to edify the church in their walk with Him.

In his spare time, Michael enjoys exploring various cultures, playing chamber music, studying theology, sailboating, drinking prosecco, and spending time with his family. He lives in St. Augustine with his wife Agnes, a violinist, and their four beautiful children: Lucien, Eloise, Adeline, and Nicholas.
