Dedication
This album is dedicated to my children, whose love of – and facility for – music is already so evident. I pray you always “worship the Lord with gladness and come before him with joyful songs” (Psalm 100:2). Love, Dad
Thanks
First and foremost, I must thank my loving wife, Ashley, for supporting this project and encouraging my creative expression…even if not all of my ideas are good ones.
I would like to thank my mom, Elaine, and my uncle, Jonathan, both of whom made music a constant feature of my childhood. You are my primary musical influences.
Thank you to my dear friends Jansen and Jonathan for collaborating with me from the very beginning of my songwriting and recording aspirations at Whitworth. You shaped me as a musician and I hope you can hear your influence in the music.
To my brother, Matthew – thank you for your discerning musical ear and for finding diplomatic ways to tell me when something stunk.
To my good friend, Nick – thank you for lending your ear to multiple versions of each mix and master, and for your timely guidance that made this album the best it could be.
