I have been a church music professional for over 20 years. I received my B.A. from Western Illinois in Applied Music (Voice Performance) and also studied at West Virginia University. I direct LifeBEAT, Inspire Choir, Bethel Wesley Bell Choir and Chancel Choir. I’m also an actor (It’s A Mystery, Genesius Guild, Opera Quad Cities), composer, author, photographer, and playwright (two-time winner in the Quad- City Playwright Festival). I believe choir at Bethel Wesley is first and foremost about the loving community, sharing our love, and giving God heartfelt worship and praise. The people and the sense of community I find at Bethel Wesley have been inspirational to me as an artist and to my life as a Christian.
