I took piano lessons when I was younger and played the flute with various bands and orchestras in high school and college. I learned to ring handbells at All Saint's Episcopal Church, and started ringing with Bells of the Desert in 2018. I enjoy the collaborative nature of handbell ringing, the opportunity to learn challenging music, and the camaraderie of the group. I'm married with two adult daughters, and in addition to music I enjoy reading, puzzles of all types, and walking/hiking.
