I began performing at age eight. My father would accompany me on piano and we would play in local churches and school events. I began playing in the Jr. High band when I was in 4th grade and continued playing in school ensembles through my college years.

I have soloed with various community bands and large church orchestras, and substituted in symphonies here and there. From 2006-2018, I performed with Lyric Trio of Missoula (flute, trombone, and piano). We gave recitals and frequently provided church music. In addition, I played solo recitals, accompanied by my pianist colleagues.
