Bob
began his music career at the age of 16 leading worship
at his local youth group in Anaheim Hills, California
in 1982. His youth group was without a worship leader
and he stepped in and made himself available and his life
was changed forever. He felt fulfillment in playing for
others and leading others in worship. A deep love for
music grew throughout his high school years at El
Modena High School (class of 84') and after an attempt
to make a living playing baseball, he found himself at
Fullerton
College as a music major. Bob transferred to Cal.
State Fullerton and graduated with a degree in Speech
Communication. During the end of his college career, he
joined the staff at Calvary
Church of Santa Ana where he worked with high school
students teaching them how to play in bands and how to
work with each other leading worship.
In 1992, Bob became a
worship leader at Hume
Lake Christian Camp. He eventually led music for 5
summers and 1 winter leading music for thousands of kids
throughout his 5 years at Hume. During this time, God
opened up many doors throughout the United States that
allowed Bob to travel from coast to coast. Bob was involved
in many concerts, retreats, camps and conferences from
1992 through 1996 and in the peak of his career in 95'
and 96', he was on the road for more than 200 days per
year.
In the Fall of 1996,
Bob felt a burden to get off the road. He took a job as
the Junior High Director and Director of Saturday Night
Worship at a local church in Bakersfield, California.
His music career settled down a bit during this time and
after being on the road for so long, felt that investing
in the local body of believers was a great thing to do.
He developed roots and settled down building relationships
with many great people in the City
of Bakersfield. Bob continued traveling doing a few
concerts and retreats a year and met his wife, Heidi,
at a teachers retreat at Forest
Home Christian Camp in 1998.
In March of 2004, Bob
said goodbye to junior high ministry to move back into
full time music. He became the worship leader at the Saturday
Night Service at his church. In October of 04', he went
commercial by opening up Crystal
Clear Project Studio and is enjoying a career in studio
engineering and video editing. Shortly after the birth
of the recording studio, Bob found a market by selling
custom guitars at Crystal Clear Custom Guitars.
In 2006, Bob was offered
a position at Bakersfield
Christian High School teaching guitar and working
with student musicians in the chapel worship band. To
this day he still works with students at BCHS in their
weekly chapels.
In January of 08,
Bob lost the lease on his studio and rebuilt his home
studio where it is currently set up today.
As of September
of 08, Bob has begun working on a new music ministry with
a new organization. "We look forward to unveiling
this new ministry as we have begun talking to many pastors
and musicians in the area and it has been met with tremendous
excitement. I can't wait to get back out on the road sharing
how great God is as this ministry becomes public."
states Bob. Keep checking back as this ministry moves
forward.
