He joined the Deliverance Evangelistic Center under the leadership of Apostle Arturo Skinner as a youngster and was a member of the Deliverance Orchestra from 1963 to 1975. He taught music to youth in the orchestra as the Lord directed. He and his family then joined Faith Fellowship Ministries in 1988, and he played in the church band until 2009.
