He created the popular character, “Sam Saint, Super Sleuth” and authored the best-selling VBS, “Sam Saint”. He speaks and conducts workshops across the United States and internationally. He created and hosts the children’s outreach video, “Who Cares” and is the newly appointed Children’s Ministries Specialist for Valley Forge Christian College in Phoenixville, PA.

• Q. What is your favorite article of clothing? Is it the Converse All-Star high tops in a rainbow of colors?
• Dick Gruber: “Actually size 12, Converse Chuck Taylors in the color red!” [Just as anyone who has seen him about his red high tops!]
• When you are not busy with kids ministry and trying to find those vintage high tops, what do you enjoy doing?
• Dick Gruber: “Watching Star Trek and playing golf, not necessarily in that order! I guess you could say my hobbies are cartooning, writing, playing piano, going to Disney World, and cooking.”
• Q. What experiences in your life have uniquely prepared you for writing kids songs?
• Dick Gruber: “Definitely being a children’s worship leader.”
• Q. What is your ultimate hope or aim in composing?
• Dick Gruber: “Simply to glorify God and point kids and families to Him.”
• Q. Share your heart about writing for kids.
• Dick Gruber: “Children need Jesus in His grace and power more than ever before. Music reaches into the soul of children. Music is a tool through which children can easily learn and retain Scripture and Christian principles. Most of us learned our ABCs to a song. In like manner, boys and girls do as Sir Oliver once said, ‘sing it and never forget it’.”
• Q. Share with us the favorite song of yours in the Music Precedent catalog.
• Dick Gruber: “Guide Me Into Your Love.”
