Music is where I started.

I've been making music in churches, schools, and concert halls since 1996. I love music of every genre, but my heart is with the organ — and with showing people, in church and out, just how many colors that instrument has. When I play a recital, expect a wide range of styles, some audience participation, a little stand-up comedy, and, yes, some sparkle.

Every week you'll find me at the console at Hayes Barton United Methodist Church in Raleigh. I also compose and arrange sacred music for organ, piano, choir, and congregation, including works published by Lorenz.

During the pandemic I recorded Sacred Sounds, a concert mini-series rooted in my background in sacred music and worship arts and inspired by The Joy of Music.
