About
            I attend the Salvation Army North Street Citadel where I use my gifts and talents to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God through many of the ministries and outreach programs. These Ministries include Young People's Band, Singing Company, Senior Band, Songsters, Praise and Worship Team, Divisional Worship Team, Divisional YP Band, and the Bermuda Divisional Band. In addition to activities within the Salvation Army I also assist other churches in their music departments. I presently assist in worship services at United Holy Church of Bermuda Inc, Warwick Holiness Church and also play for their District Choir.
         I am very interested in public speaking, traveling and most importantly music. I have represented Bermuda, my church and my family via my participation in the bands and performances such as special guest at the Salvation Army Congress Celebration 125 in Manitoba, Ontario, 2007, 2006 Salvation Army Tournament of Roses Band, Lions Club of MD20 Youth Band 2003-05. I am also a member of the Bermuda National Youth Jazz Ensemble where I currently play piano and previously played Cornet (Trumpet). I have taken private lessons with Doctor Carol-Sue Reddington. I studied piano and theory were I haven obtained 1st Class Honors in theory Grade 2 Rudiments and passed Grades 5, Royal Conservatory of Music and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.

Upon entering the Bermuda College it took a while to get settled and my grades reflected that inability to adjust from high school to college. Throughout my first year at Bermuda College I suffered the loss of my uncle Michael D. Fox, who had taken me under his wing and encouraged me to continue to perfect my musical abilities and much more. He worked with me for just under three months where we worked on small composition projects and during that time we only had the chance to perform together once. He was very supportive and even though we knew his time was short it took me by surprise how he left us so suddenly.

I believe that everyone has a purpose in life whether it is good or bad and that purpose plays an important role in the plan God has in store for us. We must find the key within ourselves to open the doors that will lead us to a successful life. The values and morals that I have are heavily based on the Doctrines of the Salvation Army and Articles of War. My parents have taught me that I should value life and wealth in people instead of money. They also have encouraged me to think of others before myself and give back as much as I can to the community.

My outlook on life, my values, characteristics have all molded me into the person I am today. All the activities and programs that I have gone through have given me options as to what I could do for the rest of my life. My Career goal is to assist young people in exploring their musical talent.
