I love raising my family and learning the violin.  Crescendo Youth Orchestra gets the rest of my time and love.


My hometown is Kingman, AZ.  I currently live in Hibbing, MN with my husband Lance (photo above) and our children.

My favorite quote is: To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion,

to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly,

to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely,

 await occasions, hurry never, in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common,

                                                                this is to be my symphony.
