My Story in one paragraph
I grew up in Louisville, KY, began playing in public when I was six, and that's what I've been doing ever since. I studied classical piano growing up, then later in college. In high school, I played piano for school ensembles, school plays, for my church choir, and just for fun. In college, I took music gigs to help pay for school expenses, but I originally obtained Bachelor's Degrees in English, French, and Humanities at the University of Louisville. I spent a few years in corporate America, only to discover I wasn't a desk person, so I returned to U of L and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Music. I officially left corporate America in 2004, started my business in 2008, incorporated in 2010, and now I'm fortunate to be able make a living doing what I love.
