About Me
I’m not afraid to admit my age. I was born in in Milwaukee, WI in 1966 and lived there until age 3 when my parents built a house in Hubertus. That’s where I grew up.
I am a musician. I have been a musician since I was five years old. It all started one Christmas when I received my first piano - a toy piano - much like the kind Schroeder played (from Charlie Brown fame). I took to it quickly, and was soon enrolled in piano lessons. Not too much later, my parents invested in a real, full-sized piano.
Fast forward to college... I became a music major at UW-Superior, and then UW-Stevens Point, where I earned my degree in Composition/Theory. It was in Point that I landed my first teaching position as a private piano instructor with the conservatory.
In 2001 I started a new adventure in music - I found Plank Road Publishing and became a music editor there (MusicK8.com). Eventually I had a few recorder tunes published with Plank Road, as well as one sacred vocal selection.
