The Heart of Ave Music
I’m a skilled pianist who began playing at the age of nine. Throughout grade school and high school, I participated in numerous competitions, including the Missouri All State Band, the St. Louis Piano Federation, and the Mid America Music Association Festival—where, in 2007, I was recognized as the top jazz and blues performer. My passion for music led me to Loyola University Chicago, where I majored in music and was honored to win both the school’s concerto competition and the First Friday Award.
In 2024, I moved to Ave Maria, Florida, marking the start of a new chapter in my life. The following spring, in May 2025, I married my best friend. After settling into the community, I became actively involved with the parish and also joined the Ave Maria Knights of Columbus, where I continue to serve with pride.
I now teach at Ave Music, a premier piano studio in Ave Maria, where I’m dedicated to providing personalized, in-person piano lessons. I work with students of all ages and skill levels, fostering a nurturing and inspiring environment for musical growth.
