Here is his biography from his blog, Worship Matters.
I grew up as a Roman Catholic and planned to become a missionary priest in a third world country. Didn’t happen. When I was a freshman in college, someone from Campus Crusade shared the Gospel with me and for the first time I realized that the death of Jesus on the cross paid for ALL my sins. I turned from my sin and put my complete trust in Jesus Christ to save me from God’s wrath. After receiving a piano performance degree from Temple University in 1976, I traveled for 8 years with the contemporary Christian group GLAD, as a song writer, speaker, and arranger. I left the group in 1984, but continued writing and arranging for them. Our most well known recording is The A Cappella Project, released in 1988. I left GLAD to pursue active involvement in the local church. In 1997, after 12 years as a pastor in churches related through Sovereign Grace Ministries, I moved to Gaithersburg, Maryland to serve as Director of Worship Development for Sovereign Grace. I presently equip pastors and musicians in the theology and practice of congregational worship, contribute to Sovereign Grace recordings, and am one of the congregational worship leaders at Covenant Life Church, led by Josh Harris. In August, 2006, I marked 30 years of being married to the most precious woman in my life, Julie. We have six children, three of whom are married, and four grandchildren.Here are the sermons I have found online:
