MY TESTIMONY

A little background…

I grew up backstage, literally.
While my dad played concerts, I slept in green rooms because he couldn’t always find a babysitter.
Music wasn’t just around me—it raised me.

By nine years old, I was already playing bass in a Christian punk rock band called Greenish Blue.
We performed at The New Union—the Christian nightclub my church bought for an outreach to help bring people to God. 

But when my parents divorced, childhood ended for me.

My dad moved back to Chicago.
My mom stayed in Minneapolis… and fell deep into drinking and drugs.
And suddenly, I wasn’t a kid with stability—I was a kid being passed around the country, living with whoever would take me in.

I didn’t understand why my life felt so unstable.
I didn’t understand why I didn’t feel chosen.
Loved.
Protected.

Or even wanted.

But God was already writing a story.

When I was in Chicago with my dad, I saw a video of DJs performing—and something inside my young heart woke up.
I didn’t know much… but I knew this:
“That’s what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

Back in Minneapolis, I basically lived at the skating rink.
They had a DJ there.
I taught him how to skate, and he taught me how to DJ.

At 12 years old, I was already behind turntables at the skating rink, working for free for a mobile DJ company—doing anything they asked just so I could learn the craft.

There was a teen nightclub in town where hundreds of kids came every weekend.
I talked to the DJ, he gave me a shot, and I was hired.

That’s where I met the local radio superstar—the biggest personality in Minneapolis.
He saw something in me, took me under his wing, and he asked me to intern at the biggest radio station in the city… one of the biggest in the nation.

So there I was…
Fifteen years old.
Taking the bus to downtown Minneapolis twice a week.
Learning radio from one of the best on air personalities in the country.
He even drove me to the nightclubs after our shifts, and someone else would drive me home until I got my drivers license. When I turned 18, I got my first official radio job.
Bismarck.
Then Fargo.
Then Reno in 2006 at Wild 102.9.

And anywhere I went, I always found a nightclub to DJ at.
It became my life.
My identity.
My escape.

In 2008, I left radio and went full-time with my own DJ company.
That’s when the touring started.
The travel.
The money.
The fame.
The crowds.
Canada.
Mexico.
China.
Big-name DJs from all over the world.
The so-called “rockstar lifestyle.”

And I won’t lie—money was flowing.
Crowds were huge.
I was producing remixes, edits, original songs.
I became one of the top DJ battle champions in the United States.

To everyone watching… I was living the dream.

But inside…
I was empty.
Broken.
Hollow.

Lost.

COVID hit. Everything stopped.
And when the world reopened… I didn’t want to go back on the road.
I had built strong connections with casinos and venues across the country.
I was booking DJs, booking artists, DJing for crowds as big as 17,000 people…

But even on the biggest stages of my life…
I felt small.
I felt lost.

Unfulfilled.
Something inside me whispered constantly:
“This isn’t your purpose.”

My cup never felt full.
My soul felt dry.
I said I was a Christian, but I wasn’t living like one—not even close.
I wasn’t following Jesus… I was following the world.
I was “playing church,” but I wasn’t being the church.

I stopped going completely for about four or five years.

During that time, I joined a motorcycle club.
And one of the guys brought me to Calvary Chapel almost three years ago.

The moment I sat there…
Something broke open in me.
Pastor Phil spoke the Word, and it hit me straight in my heart.
The people welcomed me with open arms—something I hadn’t felt since I was a kid.

I started getting involved.
Started reading the Word every day.
Started pursuing God again.

But the closer I got to God…
The more painful my nightlife job became.
Standing in clubs… watching young people get drunk, high, lost, broken…
And I was providing the soundtrack.
My heart ached every night.

People told me,
“You’re not making them sin. You’re just playing music.”

But that wasn’t how it felt.

Then one night, I read Matthew 18:6:
“If you cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin…”
“…it would be better to have a millstone tied around your neck
and be drowned in the sea.”

The moment I read that—
I dropped to the ground.
I cried harder than I had cried in years.
Because I finally understood why my soul had been grieving for so long.

So I stepped back from the stage.
I promised God:
“If I have to stay here temporarily, I will speak Your name in the darkness.”

And I did.
Every night, I tried to tell at least three people about God.
But my heart still hurt.
I prayed constantly:
“Lord, help me. Show me the way out.”

And He did.

First, the main club I worked for shut down.
Then another.
And another.

That’s when I knew:
God was closing the doors I was too afraid to shut myself.

So I picked up my cross.
And I walked away from everything—the money, the nightlife, the comfort, the identity.

I prayed,
“God, what’s next? What do You want from me? How can I serve You and Your Kingdom?”

Then I met two amazing guys working in sound at the church. They brought me into projects that blessed me more than they’ll ever know.

But I still needed income.
Still needed direction.
So I prayed.
And God reminded me of an idea I had over 14 years ago…
To make Christian House and EDM music—
to use my gift for Him.

So I went into the studio and created three hours of faith-based house music.
But it wasn’t festival season yet.
So I kept praying… kept producing… kept listening.

Then God gave me the idea that changed everything:
Build a Christian, faith-based radio station.

So I did.

The Triple 7 Crew Radio
I now there’s over four hours of music rotating 24/7.
Hip-hop.
House.
Trap.
Latin.
R&B.
Soul.
All for Jesus.

I thought back to City Fest and how churches came together…
And I knew God was telling me:
“This is where I need you. Reach this generation.”

Young people are drowning in clubs, festivals, drugs, liquor, depression, and darkness.
And God is calling me to help lead them out.
To show them they can have joy, music, energy, passion, and still glorify God.

My only goal now is simple:
Bring people who don’t know Jesus straight to Him.
Be a fisherman of men.
Reach as many souls as possible—because time is short, and eternity is real.

I left everything behind to follow Jesus.
And I’ll never go back.
