“I just wanted to send a message letting you know that after meeting you a long long time ago briefly your name and music stayed with me. I recall you working with kids and being a music teacher and currently I am a teacher. During writing time your albums are what we listen to. My class and I can’t wait for your new album! A Small Prayer is my favorite song. Thank you for being a good human and an amazing composer.” - Teresa

“I am not just saying this, ALL of your songs belong in a movie!” - Ed

“Just a personal note... really loved the tracks from you I put into rotation for the Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio Station. Looking forward to more from you!” - David

“My wife and I have been listening to your music on our long drives up and back. We even have you saved on our Pandora mix. It sure makes the drive more relaxing.” - Donald

“I was really moved by your songs and found myself experiencing emotions from these beautiful songs that have no lyrics. That’s what you call the power of your composing! I particularly enjoy all the descriptions you write after each of your songs when I’m reading about them. I attended one of your concerts and made a playlist of the songs I heard there on Apple Music just so I could experience it all over again! I'm excited for the road ahead and look forward to hearing more music from you and to hearing you again at a future concert.” - Scott

“As a former college music professor for 20 years in California, as the head of the music department at another college in California for 15 years, and as a lawyer who practiced composition copyright abuse law with big time composers, musicians, and celebrities, believe me when I tell you that I have seen and heard it all. Even if you never touch the piano another day in your life, you are still going to have an amazing career! Your songs have such intricacies. The emotions these songs draw out…the melodies and the chord structures and the chord changes….they go here, they go there! It is just stunning and simply beautiful.” - Bob

“My family and I love your albums. We listen to them on shuffle for about 6 hours every day. We can even hum all the melodies now! They are perfect for studying and putting the baby to sleep. We listen literally all day and night!” - Dylan

“I love Mouse Musette! It makes me think there is a mouse in this giant house scampering around!” - Joy

“I really enjoy the intentional pauses you created in your song Mouse Musette. It makes it so easy for me to imagine that a mouse is running around, hears a noise, and all of a sudden stops to look around. Then after a short moment…it continues to run around again!” - Eric
