Freelancing as a studio musician, I've created music for commercial, instructional, and entertainment industries and I've served as an adjunct faculty member at Grand Valley State University. I travelled as far as Japan to study piano culture and manufacturing and, since 1984, I have worked in the music retail industry and currently serve as a sales consultant for Keyboard World in Grand Rapids.
I am also a shameless name dropper and include this small list of entertainers I have either shared a stage with or warmed up for: Bo Diddley, Huey Lewis, Head East, Henry Mancini, The Kinsey Report, Sugar Blue, Albert Collins, and Steppenwolf. That is a pretty strange list. Theater shows incuded Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop Of Horrors, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Sunday In the Park With George and Nine.
