Favorite childhood memory: star-gazing with my dad

Musical background: Since age 4 (when we got our first piano) continuously involved in music: playing, singing, arranging, getting B.A. in Music, singing with my family, conducting, putting vocal and instrumental groups together in church and community settings, and, the ultimate musical experience – singing in Barlow Bradford’s choral groups since 1982

Years with UCA: all

Favorite UCA memory: tours of Israel and Europe, singing a cappella under Barlow’s direction anywhere anytime, continually hearing our audience members and orchestra members say they love our sound – this is so beautiful, but hard to describe – it is ethereal and they’ve never heard anything like it before

Hobbies: music (boy, I’m not very well-rounded)

An accomplishment of which I am proud: kids, grandkids, and an enduring marriage

Dream vacation: The exact June 2008 European Tour all over again
