Location:
Rock Island, IL

Experience:
Have been involved in music and fine arts type activities for a long time.

An actor or musician in over 40 musical theater productions. Have taught for many years, and still teach music to various levels of students. Am a multi-instrumentalist as well as singer. Have been involved in all facets of music ministry in Christian churches for over 36 years. These have involved adult and children's choir programs, handbells, handchimes, organ and piano as well as creating, writing and directing musicals in which church members might participate in various ways.

Have played various instruments in concert bands, orchestras and chamber groups. Currently play string bass and percussion with the Quad City Wind Ensemble, which is like the local symphony, except that it's a concert band. Am directing as well as singing in the local chapter of the men's barbershop singing group on the Illinois side of the river in the Quad Cities. Compose, improvise and arrange instrumental as well as vocal music.

Being involved with a number of small businesses that I run, I have learned much about utilizing the Internet as an advertising tool and also ways that work in order to promote a business to the general public.

Also have been a piano tuner/technician since 1974. Have tuned, rebuilt and refinished many pianos since starting in that profession.

Hobbies:
Am an avid vegetable and flower gardener. Have been the secretary and also president for the local horticulture club where I live. Have successfully completed the course to be a Master Gardener. I also love to make and decorate simple folk musical instruments as well as refinish furniture.

Philosophy About Life:
A good part of what life is about is making choices, dealing with the cards that one has been dealt and also weighing the costs as compared to the benefits concerning the choices that we make.
