I was born in Paducah, KY and raised in Anna, IL. I have 2 degrees from Murray State, KY (Music Ed and Vocal Performance) with many more hours from Carthage College, SIU, and Michigan State. I taught high school in Kentucky and Michigan for 11 years before going "on the road" as a single entertainer, playing all around the country. I finally landed in Florida, where I began teaching private singing, and have built a very successful business at my St Petersburg studio, and through internet sales of my singing and performance course, "The Singer's Bible". I am single and am having a great time.
