​

I am a 40+ year member of SingUnited International (formerly Sweet Adelines International), a worldwide organization of SSAA singers who perform and compete in 4-part a cappella harmony.

I am a baritone and have sung in choruses of all sizes:
Heartland Harmony; Danville, Indiana - small

Capital City Chorus; Indianapolis, Indiana--medium/large

Spirit of the Gulf Chorus; Ft. Myers, Florida -large

​

I have sung in quartets with varying skill levels and goals. Two of those quartets, Once in a Lifetime (Region 4, SingUnited International) and Galaxy (Region 9, SingUnited International) earned medals finishing in the top five in our regional contests. I have also sung in quartets whose primary purpose was to perform for community audiences, bring barbershop harmony education to local schools, or to perform Christian music for church events. My current quartet is Reflections, all members of Spirit of the Gulf Chorus in Region 9.

​

I often call myself the "poster child" for the educational opportunities available in SingUnited International. My music background consisted only of a few years of accordion lessons prior to joining this excellent music education organization. Educational seminars, self-study tools, and patient mentors have taught me 99% of what I know about music.

 

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with family, gardening, golfing, and travel.
