I'm a lifelong musician,
pianist, composer, music educator, choral conductor,
worship leader and avid outdoors person.
As winner of the Artist's
Showcase Competition in Redding, California, I appeared
three times with the Shasta Symphony Orchestra and
performed the Macdowell Second, Rachmaninoff Second, and
Saint Saens Fifth piano concertos. I also performed solo
concerts at California State University, Chico; Shasta
College, Redding; College of the Siskiyous, Weed; and the
Crocker Art Museum Gallery in Sacramento. My performances
were featured three times on the local PBS
affiliate.
I've also directed church
music in Northern California for many years, leading
numerous choirs and worship teams. As Music Director at
Aldersgate Church, I direct the Praise Team and Chancel
Choir.
I hold a Master's Degree in music from California State
University, Chico and perform regularly as an accompanist
at CSU, Chico and area churches. I have taught individual
private piano, class piano at Butte Community College, and
presently teach class piano and music fundamentals courses
at CSU, Chico.
My love of the outdoors is reflected in my hobbies:
windsurfing, mountain biking, hiking and landscape
photography.
