Music has always been a part of my life.  I took my first piano lesson over 30 years ago.  My music education continued at USC where I earned my Master's degree in teaching.  Music has led to amazing opportunities such as playing lead trumpet in USC's jazz band under the direction of the world-renown Bill Watrous as well as playing keys with some of the most well known recording artists including Phil Wickham and Matthew West.  Throughout my musical career, the most important lesson I have learned is to enjoy music.  This is the foundation of my piano studio:  learning & loving music.
