About Me

Music has been my passion as long as I can remember. My work at Dalton First involves accompanying the sanctuary choir, as well as playing service music every Sunday. After completing music degrees in Tennessee and Kentucky I found myself in the city of Chattanooga where I work as a Professor of Music at Chattanooga State Community College and also play principal keyboard with the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra. I love spending time with my wife and daughter, reading, rehearsing, and working on music arrangements for solo piano as well as the chamber trio I am a member of. I hope that my music accomplishes the purpose which J. S. Bach expressed 300 years ago: “The aim and final end of all music should be none other than
the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.”
