Ernest served 17 years as a civilian with the Department of the Army. In April 2001, He accepted a position at Headquarters, Department of the Army working at the Pentagon as a Staff Officer. Ernest is grateful that God spared his life during the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon.

Ernest brings a warm spiritual side to worship, that reaches out and touches you right where you are.

In August 2002, Ernest and his family relocated from Baltimore to Southern Maryland. Ernest's love for God and Christian music ministry led him to resign from the Army and join the SPC team in September 2004.
