     I came to Paoli Presbyterian Church in the Fall of 2024 as an interim accompanist / organist.  It's an exciting time for me as I'm now officially a staff member. Paoli Pres welcomed me with open arms, and I'm surrounded by an amazing team of leaders and a music ministry full of vitality. I look forward to each week planning, rehearsing, and praising God.
     I've worked in the pipe organ industry for years along with my music ministry roles. My education degree is in Church Music from Westminster Choir College where I studied organ performance, voice, and choral directing. I'm a father of two boys who are recent college graduates.  I have several hobbies and passions. I'm a dog person and I like cooking anything from scratch.
     I hope you'll find me easy to talk to and that my sense of humor can make you laugh or smile. I enjoy meeting new people, please say hello anytime!
