About
Throughout my life, I have performed across North Dakota with many different musical groups including my family’s polka band and the North Dakota Army National Guard band which includes many different varieties of groups. I am teaching private lessons and work as an organist at my church in Bismarck. My musical accomplishments include performing on piano, percussion, accordion, organ, trumpet, and guitar. My musical skills also include arranging and conducting for my band at church. I recently graduated from the University of Mary with a B.S. in Music with piano as my primary focus.
