ABOUT ME

I love the Lord and I love music. I am a classical pianist, having studied in Chicago, Illinois and Vienna, Austria, and I have also worked in operations and manufacturing. I enjoy good conversation, learning, volunteering, reading (newspapers, non-fiction, fiction), being a part of my new church community, going to concerts and performances of many kinds, and, of course, traveling.
