I have been a lover of music from young up. Several things that have influenced this are a family who loves to sing, friends who love to sing, and teachers who love to sing. I find joy in many different aspects of music, whether it be singing, composing, conducting, or teaching. Perhaps the greatest passion of all for me is teaching music to grades 5-8 in a local school. I have a passion to use music to glorify God, encourage and exhort fellow believers, and to draw nonbelievers to Christ.
