Welcome... Thank you so much for taking a minute to learn more about me, my music and the ministry of Guitar Jams and METAL CHURCH! I'll keep this page really simple and to the point. By checking out the links above you should be able to get a pretty clear and complete picture of what I'm all about. I was born an raised in Anderson, IN. I grew up & cut my musical teeth during the decade of the 1980s--maybe that's why metal style lead guitar is such a passion for me. I receive my Bachlor Degree from Johnson Bible College in 1995, majoring in Bible and Preaching, I currently serve as the Connections & Teaching Pastor @ First Church. I also serve as Lead Pastor of the METAL CHURCH. My wife, Kelly, and I were married in 1991 (6-22). Together we have two awesome children--Kara Marie (born 8-3-97) and Joshua Bradley (born 5-20-99). I l |
ived a pretty wild rebellious life before I surrendered my heart to Jesus Christ in 1987. You can learn all about that--and a whole lot of other personal tid-bits about my life-- in my testimony. Musical Influences--All the great hard rock/heavy metal guitarists of the mid-late 70s--1980s. My top five (or four depending on how you count it) would be Angus Young (AC/DC), Ace Frehley (Kiss), Randy Rhoads (Ozzy) and Adrian Smith and Dave Murray (Iron Maiden). Hobbies/Intrests--I love to read, study and talk about God! I'm a HUGE Notre Dame Football fan--GO IRISH! Outside of that I just enjoy being with people, hanging and talking about life. Favorite Food--Anything my wife makes for me :-) ...seriously. It's a whole lot easier to list what I don't like--I'm not a big fan of sushi, monkey brains, snails, caviar, that fish stuff on pizza... and maybe a couple other things... outside of that--bring it on! My Hopes for Guitar Jams--Five Goals... Share my music--I love to write, record and produce metal music--and of course, I want to share that music with as many people as I can! Make Friends--I've met so many cool people through G.J. and I hope to meet and befriend a million more! Help People--I'm always available. I truly enjoy helping people connect with God and grow spiritually--That's what METAL CHURCH is all about. Do some live performances--I would love to come to your metal festival, coffee house, church or young adult event and lead worship, do a rock/metal set, teach, llead a retreat, etc. I'm very comfortable in all of those settings. If you'd like to learn more about what I do--email me at pastorbrad@aol.com. Glorify God--This is sort of the bottom line for me. Through it all--the music, the conversations, the teaching... all of it... my goal is to exalt Jesus and bring glory to Him! He's awesome, He's my Savior and everything I do--I do for Him. |
