I’ve been at the piano since…. well… my first gig was the lounge act on The Mayflower, so you get the idea. I actually began playing at age 8, and played in public for the first time at about 10 years old. After nearly 40 years of “regular” jobs and doing the weekend warrior thing in bands and in churches, in August, 2014, I took a leap of faith, bid adieu to “regular” jobs, and pursued the goal of making a living doing the thing I love most: playing piano and entertaining.
After auditioning for Carnival Cruise Line, I had my first cruise ship contract on the Carnival Pride in February, 2015 as a piano bar entertainer and Elton John tribute artist. For three seasons beginning in June, 2021, I sailed on riverboats with American Cruise Lines, and have had the privilege and joy of entertaining thousands of cruise ship guests, and have been all over the Caribbean, the Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, US Virgin Islands, Mexico, and the Pacific Northwest.
I’ve met numerous cruise ship guests who have turned into longtime friends. To say I’m blessed would be an understatement. It really is true: Do what you love for a living, and you’ll never work a day in your life.
I love playing private functions and jamming with local bands.
Hit me up!!
