About Me:
My name is TJ Grembowski and I am the Worship Arts Director for Hocking Hills UMC. I spend my time with my best friend and snacking buddy, Benjamin.
I started playing music around 4th grade when I first learned the violin. From there I began to learn music theory and was enrolled in middle school band on the trumpet. With my knowledge of theory and trumpet I began to teach myself a myriad of other instruments. My main instrument is Trumpet, but I also play guitar (acoustic, electric, bass, classical, 12-string), banjo, ukulele, piano, keyboard/synth, drums, cajon, general percussion, harmonica, didgeridoo, shofar, and I sing.
After High School I joined The U.S. Army as a musician and served for 6 years while I was in college. While serving in the Army I attended Ohio University and received an Associate’s in Electronic Media and a Bachelor’s in Music Production with a Minor in Music. Aside from audio, the rest of my multimedia specialties are self-taught.
Description of Job Title and Duties:
I am the Worship Arts Director and Multimedia Specialist for Hocking Hills United Methodist Church. I lead the Praise Band “Warship”, The Multimedia Team, and occasionally teach our Spark Youth Group. I plan our 11:00am service, “The Harbor”, and do much in the ways of music relating to that service. I also work with a team that creates all of the media for the church (photo, video, design, web, music, etc.) You can find me any Sunday on stage praising the Lord (most likely without shoes on)!
Hobbies
As a hobby I run a Youtube channel dedicated to music, ministry, and DIY projects. I love board games (and have many)! I also love spending time with friends and family at any opportunity that I get.
Favorite Bible Verse:
