I have been playing the piano since the age of 8 and have been heavily involved in church music since that time. However, my journey as a professional musician has been unorthodox. After college, I actually started my professional career as a software engineer and then later started two internet retail companies. It was not until I was 30 that doors started opening for me to take a more active role in professional music. I currently travel doing concerts and public speaking, write and produce music, and help other pianists through my blog, educational courses, and other resources.
