Jock is a multi-talented musician--he tears up the keys and
the organ and also plays the acoustic guitar and does some
background vocals. Jock's positivity buoys up the rest of
the band and comes out in his energetic style. When he's
not rockin' with the band, he works for Delta Airlines,
formerly Northwest, and has done so for more years than
he cares to discuss here. He's currently back in school for
"IT stuff"--specifically website development. Why didn't I
just let him do this website as a homework assignment? (He
did help tweak and publish it.) Anyhow, Jock also plays in a
praise band at church and has considerable performance
experience. He is the key to the band. Groan.

Verse: Phillipians 4:6 - "Be anxious for nothing..."

Lacy is the band's female lead and easily the sweetest
person in the band (sorry, Andres). She grew up working in
sales as a vendor for sporting events such as the
Superbowl, World Series, and NBA and NHL events and also
at fairs selling novelties and concessions, which is
undoubtedly where she developed her bubbly personality.
She has a B.S. in Secondary Education and currently
teaches Speech Communications, Health, Bible and P.E. at a
Christian school. Lacy ran a marathon--all 26.2 miles--on
Thanksgiving day 2006. She's usually pretty calm but gets
angry at herself when she drops something under the seat
of her car where she can't reach it (usually make-up, with
only 2 minutes to fix it!). She likes to go on scenic leisure
bike rides, to relax in the sun anywhere it's shining and
also to go to a cafe with her Bible and her calendar and
plan her future with God. She'd like to see Mt. Rushmore
and always likes going to California. As she says, it doesn't
matter where you go, it's who you're with, and for her that
undoubtedly means her husband Keith.

Verse: 2 Tim. 2:3 - "Thou therefore endure hardness as a
good soldier of Jesus Christ."

Steve is the band's male lead and does a lot of the band's
songwriting and is not the sweetest person in the band,
although he may be the most sarcastic. He is definitely the
most Canadian. He grew up on beautiful Vancouver Island
where he worked summers packing fish. He has taught ESL
in Moscow, written soundtrack music for videos in Chicago
and served in the inner city outreach program of a
Minneapolis church. While he has a J.D., he has never
practiced law, but instead works in the litigation
technology department of a law firm. Not to be outdone by
Lacy, Steve has run two marathons and they both hurt. He
also recently tried a sprint triathlon for fun. One of his
many pet peeves is people who try to get on the elevator
before you get off. He likes vacationing on warm beaches
and misses snow skiing. Steve is involved in worship on the
side and enjoys running, biking and swimming almost as
much as eating, sleeping and watching movies. Steve loves
his sweet wife Sarah and their three kids.

Verse: James 1:5 - "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should
ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to him."

AKA: Probably something he doesn't know about!

Crowns, Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp, Lincoln

Fav Movies/TV: Christmas Vacation, The Bucket List, 24,

Rick is the driving force behind OG both literally and
figuratively. A Memphis native, he graduated from Overton
High School in '74 and is now Vice President of B&G
Distributing, Inc. He built his house from the ground up,
nail by nail and likes to build furniture and crafts from
wood. It should be apparent by now that Rick likes a
challenge. He once dressed up as David Bowie for a Church
Youth event. We're not sure if that was a challenge or not.
Anyhow, his pet peeves are being late for anything, people
who give but expect something in return and audio
equipment that doesn't work! The place he'd most like to
vacation is Hawaiia or Australia. Shoot, just the mention of
it makes me want to go there, too! He enjoys spending time
with his family, playing music and woodworking.

Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your
heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your
ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

Like Kevin, Andres is special. That's right, he has not
provided his bio info yet. Andres recently moved to the
Memphis area from the Ft. Lauderdale area, so he's still
adjusting to the climate and the culture. If Steve brings him
with a draft of cold Canadian air, Andres makes up for it by
bringing a warm Puerto Rican breeze. Besides have mad
bass skills, Andres is also a sound engineer and has done
some producing. In Florida, he used to do sound
engineering for Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church's audio
ministry (think D. James Kennedy) and he now employs his
ProTools skills for Love Worth Finding (think Adrian
Rogers).
