About Me

I was born in the late 60's and raised in a small town in northern Minnesota. I have played the piano since I was 4 years old. I started singing shortly thereafter. I have spent my life pursuing music. I have recorded 3 full length cd's and one single. The Lady in Blue is the one I am most happy about because it displays my passion for writing music. I feel the most connected to people with that set of songs.
All of my work was taped live and recorded at the University of Dayton in Ohio.
My other cd's include the Book of Life-a Christian pop cd, and Echoes in the Belfry- a Classical cd. I recorded a single called Midnight Sky in tribute to the late shuttle Columbia and its crew. All of the songs on my cd's are original, with the exception of the Classical cd "Echoes in the Belfry" and 2 arrangements I made on the Book of Life cd.
I enjoy singing while I play piano. Another kind of singing I love to do is classical! I am a lyric soprano vocalist. I also love -love - love jazz and blues!!! I truly love all genres. I have managed to achieve a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in music. Look, if I can do it, anyone can!! I have taught music to all ages from kindergarten to college. If you get a chance, check out my other websites. :)
One of my many paths led me to Washington D.C. where I had the chance to meet and perform with Howie Dorough of the Back Street Boys.
I was able to meet Rick Elias who was part of Rich Mullens and a Ragamuffin band. These artists are so talented and it was an honor to spend a few days celebrating music with them!
I enjoy my family more than anything. I have a super sweet hubby and four awesome children. My kids range from 9 months to 15 years old! I hope they will pursue music one day.
I plan to travel and perform over the next 2 years. I will hopefully start in Chicago and keep you all posted.
