My Musical History

I come from a very musical family, and hence it has become a big portion of my life. My father has his master's degree in music specializing in organ performance and my grandmother was a professional opera singer. My mom lacks some in musical talent, but she listens to oldies, which is in stark contrast to father's affinity for the classics has allowed me to obtain a wider perspective in the world of music.

I started listening to music from the very beginning as my father played Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns upon my arrival home from the hospital at birth. Since that time I have forever been known as "the organist's son." My father has had a passion for the pipe organ ever since he was a little boy. One of his life goal's was to have a home pipe organ, and he has achieved that and so much more. My father's influence has been great on me, so much so that I minored in music at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT.

With all this musical background, I play the piano, clarinet, sing, and even compose a little.
