I spend my life doing my music. I am a professional piano accompanist and choral director. I direct the Coro de Zapopan, Los Cantantes del Lago and am the Minister of Music at St. Andrew's Anglican Church.

I was raised on a farm in Wisconsin, USA and after university studies moved to Chicago where I ran three businesses and worked as a musician for 18 years. In 2000, I unexpectedly moved to Guadalajara, Mexico where I have lived ever since. I work as a professional musician.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finished the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in 30 days (Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Fisterra).

My goal in January 2017 is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and in 2018 to hike the St. Olav's Way (Pilegrimsleden)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to talk over a drink, help cooking a meal or entertaining you for a bit on the piano (if you have one!).
