I began playing piano at age 3 (I'm told) and began studying at the University of Evansville Indiana beginning on my 4^th birthday. After graduation from high school I continued studying at Eastern Illinois University where I received a B.S. degree in Music Education and performance.

I have taught private piano at my own studio for 25 years and have worked in church music ministry as long as I can remember. I spent a few years working with Senior Centers and Nursing Homes developing music programs and sharing with them. Also, I have worked in floral and decorating centers and really enjoy interior and floral designing.

I have hosted and taught at several different Christian Music schools and seminars and love seeing musicians expand the talents that God has given them by studying and exposing themselves to more education.

For approximately 10 years I traveled with a southern gospel quartet as their pianist and tenor. For the last 6 years I have been affiliated with 3ABN. First, in traveling with Mr. And Mrs. Shelton on the weekends to accompany them as well as co-producing their music in Nashville. I also worked with the television network as an accompanist and musician and worked with programming in set design and decorating.

At present I am managing and producing in the new 3ABN Sound Center Recording Studio. What a blessing and how fulfilling. I have never felt so much in God's will. I know this is what He has been preparing me for all my life and love it.
