I am a classical pianist with a bachelors degree in music/piano from Wake Forest University in Winston Salem NC and a master’s degree in piano performance from the University of Michigan School of Music in Ann Arbor MI. I also have a mechanical engineering degree from Rose Hulman Institute of technology in Terre Haute IN and my daytime job is a project manager in government contract services in Colorado Springs. I opened a teaching studio in Colorado in 2002 called the Colorado School of Music and have been teaching since. I also perform at amateur piano festivals around the world. I own two Bosendorfer pianos and also have recitals and soirées at my studio.
