Acadisc.com History
The Acadisc Webpage was started by Ken Pittman in January 1999 as solely what is now the album directory. In 2000, Ken began adding more information about albums by Acappella, including some lyrics. It was then that Tobin Williamson began corresponding for the site. At the end of 2001, Tobin was named Associate Editor of the site and took on a larger role. This allowed for the expansion of the site further and, on the three year anniversary of when it all began, the site moved from Clemson University's servers to Acadisc.com. At the same time, Acadisc.com became the official lyrics page of The Acappella Company. In February 2002, Daniel Porceddu joined "The Acadisc Team" as an assistant editor and in May 2002, Steve Baggett, Laura Frame, and Tim Russell also became assistant editors. Our mission is to glorify God by promoting music made for Him. We hope that our ministry will continue to grow and be a valuable resource as well as a means of bringing others to Christ.

Ken was born in Cleveland, TN and grew up in Texas (Garland). Then, in 1995, his family moved to Knoxville, TN, where Ken attended and graduated from Farragut High School in 1998. From there, he went to Clemson University in Clemson, SC, where he graduated in May 2002 with a degree in biochemistry. Ken now attends ETSU's Quillen College of Medicine in pursuit of his M.D. He is interested in pediatrics and is most likely to choose primary care pediatrics.
Ken has been interested in Acappella and The Sounds of Glory for as long as he can remember, but became a devoted fan of Acappella after their Winterfest 1996 concert, which is around the same time that he became a Christian. Since then, his interest has grown to include the entire Christian acappella genre and that is the reason he started The Acadisc Page. In his spare time (keep in mind he is a medical student), Ken attends sporting events, spends as much time as possible with children, and works on Acadisc.com.

Steve was born in Ypsilanti MI, grew up in Westland, MI and currently lives in Taylor, MI with his wife Sue and two sons Steven (six) and Samuel (three). Samuel received a heart transplant when he was two months old. You can read more of their story at http://www.clainescorner.com/ Steve went to Eastern Michigan University and has been working for Wayne State University in Detroit for over ten years mostly in the research accounting department.
He got into Christian a cappella music with his mother's family. He was raised in the Church of Christ and is currently the worship leader and treasurer of his congregation. He started leading singing before he could read when he had the words to "How Great Thou Art" memorized. The family often attended "quartet singings" to enjoy good old four part a cappella southern gospel and his mother played their LPs nearly every Sunday morning. As a teen, he was involved in the Metropolitan Detroit Youth Chorus and eventually became student director of this a cappella group. It was in this group of 100+ teens that he was introduced to Acappella and AVB and became an avid fan. Currently he sings in a Christian acappella quintet called "That Way" with four other men from the Metro Detroit area. They hope to have a CD sometime this year.
He loves all kinds of Christian music and his CD collection has grown to over 300 - most of which has been collected over the past two years. He loves most sports including golf and bowling and loves to watch baseball, football, hockey and basketball.
