I have been teaching piano and working as a professional musician for over 30 years. Based in NW Houston since 1997, I have taught many private piano students, many of whom have participated successfully in festivals, contests, exams, TMTA events and National Piano Guild auditions, and all of whom have performed regularly on my studio recitals. 

As a musician, I have worked as staff accompanist for the Lonestar College North Harris and, currently,  University Park campuses, accompanist for the St. Francis School and, currently, for Cy-Fair High School, class pianist for the Houston Ballet Academy and for various other organizations and individuals. I have served as rehearsal/orchestra pianist and/or music director for many musicals, including music director, keyboardist and band leader for Lonestar College North Harris’ production of Godspell, directed by Cash Carpenter. I hold B.M. and M.M. degrees from the University of Houston, where I was privileged to study with the late, great American Opera composer Carlisle Floyd, and have studied jazz with local luminaries Paul English & Joe LoCascio.
