I am a graduate of Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. I graduated with a BM in instrumental performance. It is my privilege to study trumpet under the expert leadership of Professor Roger Thorstenberg. My desire is to achieve professional status in this profession.
I have enjoyed many opportunities which include playing in the musical "Jesus Christ Super Star" and playing first trumpet part and the solo "The trumpet shall sound" in Handel's "Messiah"; an annual production put on by Bethany College.
I had the pleasure of providing trumpet accompaniment for the Bethany Choir during their tour of engagements throughout Germany, Sweden and Norway in 2009.
My freelance work includes performing at local churches, weddings and accompanying vocalists at recitals, along with other musicians. I like to compose my own music and give private trumpet instruction. I continue to play trumpet while playing for the Hays High pit orchestra for "Li'l Abner."
