About Me


I am a musician and piano teacher by day, puppeteer and writer by caffeinated mornings and wine infused nights. When I get home from a long day of collaborating with my young pupils I am sometimes asked, "Well, how was your day?" I am mostly inclined to answer, 'I just can't believe I get paid for what I do!' In other words, I have followed my heart and it's led me here...among puppets with cocky and occasionally "inappropriate" attitudes, and blissful hours of chewing on Beethoven Sonatas and Chopin Waltzes. I love where I am at, even though sometimes I am not altogether sure "where" it is. I guess I am continually arriving to the present moment. This is where I try to be.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


This is my book called BEAR! I was lucky enough to get it illustrated by amazing artist and fellow musician Malindi Morris (malindimorris.com).
