About Me

I'm single, never married. Would love to be married one day and enjoy sharing the future with a suitable companion, as well as being an incredible mother. :)
I am a professional musician and I enjoy teaching/coaching. I teach drummers of all ages, from my home studio. It's a true blessing to pour into the youth, and teach them how to tap into their God given talent. I was a snow-ski instructor, as well as a gymnastics coach in the past, and have always been honing my skills in music. I've been on and off the road with bands, and I'm currently playing worship doing music ministry, playing drums and percussion. I enjoy seeing the power of God released through the drums, and allow freedom to wash over people. I love to encourage others into their destiny!

I started playing music at a very young age, following in my mother's footsteps. My first instrument was violin, at age 4. I went on to play trumpet for 8 yrs, and in band class I was continually in trouble for not watching the MD. I was amazed with the drummers, and my love for drums/drumming started to really shine through. After a season with Blue Coats Drum and Bugle Corp., I put down the horn, for good. I started studying drums at the good age of 17, and the rest is history. I soon left home in Ohio, to live out my dream in California! I continued my studies, which ended up taking me on an incredible journey. I started playing in 1982, and focused clearly on one thing....to be a ROCKSTAR!!! (Funny how life unfolds....) I studied with the best teachers around,and had some incredible opportunities come my way with my studies, as well as some touring opportunities.. I ended up playing classical in the West Valley Chamber Orchestra, when I recieved the call to audition for the all female Heavy Metal group Lypstik. I ended up l playing drums with Lypstik from 1990-1993....to be continued..
