I lov

e being a musician. I remember, even at 5 years old, going home and playing on the piano whatever songs were sung in church that morning.

Eventually I began piano lessons, which I took for about 10 years. Over these years I worked for music departments at the schools I was attending, accompanying voice students during their lessons. I also began playing for church services and weddings during these early years.

I attended Walla Walla College where I studied and graduated with a degree in Theology and Music.

After college, I served for several years as a piano/voice/choir teacher at a private junior academy in the San Francisco bay area.

After a few years I began two and a half years of working on a Masters degree from California State University.

I moved up to the Seattle area in 1989 where I started a private business going home to home teaching the piano to about 60 students per week. I would also perform solo concerts in churches on the weekends.

Most recently in 2008, I moved to Palm Springs CA. where I presently have 35 piano students per week, entertain for private parties or country club dinners and also serve as a Minister of Music for a local church here in the valley.

So, for the last 28 years, entertaining and teaching music has not only become a great vocation, but continues to add richness and joy to my life as I continue to mold and prepare the next generation of musicians for the future.
