My passion for music came from my years growing up in a musical family.  I found a specific love of composing and arranging. I was accepted into the Indiana University school of music, studied arranging and orchestration, and promptly decided I did NOT want a musical career.  I enjoy music as a hobby.

​

So, here's a few highlights of what I've done since!

Billy Joel's music has influenced my playing

style since I was young.  I had a chance to 

jam out on a few songs onstage, so here's

a rendition of "Only The Good Die Young".

Over the years, I was “Billy Goat” in the Billy Goat Blues band, played in a 90’s alt-rock band, and even spent a year playing piano with a comedy improv group – what a hoot.

 

I also had the privilege of serving as a worship leader for my local church for many years!
