I began singing when I was 5 when I won a talent contest in my little town (Washington, IN).  I continued my love of music and performing when I got my Music Degree at Indiana University and then my Master’s at Butler.  In my young career I did a lot of professional singing and a lot of Broadway Musicals as well as teaching music.

My hobbies include traveling and continuing to sing with NWH.  I have 2 daughters and 3 grandsons that live in CA. Philadelphia and here in Portland.
