About Me.
I began my piano lessons at age 5 with Mrs. Beatrice Orr in Baltimore, Ohio. At age 12 we added voice to my studies. I have enjoyed music all my life. As a first grader I was asked to draw a picture of what I wanted to do as an adult and I drew a piano teacher. I competed in Ohio Music Educators Solo and Ensemble competitions from 7th grade through 12th grade. I was the accompanist at my small church for 6 years which made me learn to sight read music out of necessity. I sang in the All Ohio Youth Choir at the Ohio State Fair in 1965 and was an accompanist for the All Ohio Youth Choir European Tour in 1966. I am married to my college sweetheart. We have 3 children and 2 grandchildren.
