I grew up with a deep love and passion for the Christian grunge and alternative rock scene in the 1990s. That passion for music continued as a DJ for multiple college radio stations, including at Messiah College in Pennsylvania. I've had the honour to talk Trevor McNevan (Thousand Foot Krutch), Kevin Max (dc Talk) and Mark Lee (Third Day). Before joining the Rock On Purpose team, I wrote for New Release Today as Rock News Writer. I'm excited to share this love of great, deeply powerful music with the rock and roll community.
