My musical career has been varied including Violinist in the Winnipeg Symphony and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra from 1988 - 1994.  After my performing career was cut short by "focal dystonia" in my bow hand, I began my string teaching career, first in Minnesota, and currently in Arizona.  I have always enjoyed writing songs along the way and after acquiring several independent publishing deals, I have begun to record and release my own music in the past three years.
