Happy 7th Anniversary to my amazing and beautiful wife, Paige! I’m amazed how we can continue to grow exponentially in love, I love you! We spent the weekend enjoying the desert at a resort and a nice dinner out. Thanks @sdowler for watching the kids! 📸1: @amyoconn (hilarious to run into you guys at the restaurant haha)

Spent last weekend at the @sttimothymesa Father/Son campout! Archery, rockets, wild reptiles, it was a blast.

This pedalboard reminds me of the image of Mary as the moon in the night, reflecting the light of Christ. As Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen said: “God who made the sun, also made the moon. The moon does not take away from the brilliance of the sun. All its light is reflected from the sun. The Blessed Mother reflects her Divine Son; without Him, she is nothing. With Him, she is the Mother of men.” Thanks to the @godsmomdotcom Fuzz Assumption, an incredible sounding overdrive and fuzz, for giving me the conversation starter to start talking about Mary whenever someone asks me about my pedalboard.

The entire @sttimothymesa staff including @sttimcathschool and @sttimothypreschoolaz gathered at the beginning of the month for a Day of Prayer and Reflection. Focusing on mission and team, we ended the day with a beautiful time of adoration.

Working with our @sttimothymesa audio team @ctproductionz and John to get Dante into Pro Tools, live church recordings here we come!

Last week, played bass with @matadorandthetatteredcapes, in a concert to support @rldazemusic’s new album. Go check out Ben Moraca’s (also our drummer for EVERNEW) Matador and the Tattered Capes project for some funky, soulful, jazzy grooves, and check out @maryanne.muglia’s Red Letter Daze for stunning 4 part a capella arrangements.

The Sonoran Desert. No where in the world like it. SWIPE FOR MUSIC NATIVE TO THE SONORAN DESERT

What an incredible week of watching the Holy Spirit work in the hearts of the teens at @lifeteen @lt_covecrest! Shout out to the great leadership team, serving alongside @kasimpson11, Fr Detwiler, Fr Jacob, and Natalie, as well as the Covecrest staff. Also, shout out to St Tim’s crew, @kaelanbenner and @collettevarga, who are serving as missionaries! Keep them in your prayers!

An amazing week so far at @lifeteen @lt_covecrest! God is so good, He’s pouring his love into all the teens this week! Swipe for adventures like fireworks over the lake and changing the tire on the Life Teen van on the way up.

Always a joy for my parents to visit and spend some time with the grandkids!
