Since 2010, John has been recognized by his peers as one of the hardest working artists in Inspirational Country music. With over 100 solo dates per year, hosting Music With A Message, the monthly award-winning singer/songwriter event in Mabank, Texas, multiple speaking engagements and balancing all this with a 22-year marriage, two grown daughters, a son-in-law and a new grand daughter, it's easy to see why that reputation has taken root. As a new chapter begins with the faithful AND fearful step of following God's call down a full-time path, John looks forward with great anticipation to see what God has in store for him and his family.

In the last eight years, John has been named:
- 2013 Male New Artist of the Year in Christian Country Music
- 2016 Male Vocalist of the Year for the Gospel Music Artist Association
- Six Male Vocalist of the Year Nominations
- Three Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year Nominations
- Two Album of the Year nominations

The Texas Country Music Association took notice of his work in 2018 and awarded him with two nominations - Male Vocalist of the Year and Single of the Year for the new single "Slow Time Down."

John recently released his third full-length CD project that includes nine new songs including the single "Slow Time Down" and a remix/remaster of his 2011 single that started it all, Call Me Old Fashioned. John's music speaks to the values that we held too for so long; values that somehow went from being so right for 200 years to being so wrong overnight; values that made our families, our homes, our communities and our country as strong as they once were - God, Family and Country.
