I fell in love with barbershop music at age 16 when I sang in my high school’s production of The Music Man. Barbershop has been at the center of my life ever since.
I have sung at the international level in a quartet and two medalist choruses, directed choruses, worked at Harmony Hall, taught at countless schools, been a friend and mentor to Harmony, Inc., worked with numerous Sweet Adelines International groups, and coached and judged all over the world. I am is a past Music Category specialist for the Barbershop Harmony Society, and have been arranging for all of my 60+ year career.
Retired in July of 2023 after 44 years of judging in the Arrangement and Music categories, I currently serve as the BHS’s Tagmaster. My tag column on the back page of The Harmonizer is a regular (and hopefully enjoyable) feature of the magazine.
I would like all barbershoppers, veteran and new alike, to be in touch with me if you would like an arrangement that expresses your quartet’s or chorus’s unique personality. So whether you are looking for an already polished musical gem or a diamond in the rough fashioned especially for you, feel free to get in touch.
