Kindness is a language
which the deaf can hear and the blind can read.

Come as you are!
Suits, jeans, and

About Me and King Street Church

I joined the King Street family in early 1999, when I was a freshman in college and learned that the church needed an organist. After auditioning with music director Diane Cook, I was offered the position of organist and piano accompanist.

King Street was my career during my college years. Every Thursday after soccer practice, I drove from Westchester to Danbury for choir rehearsal; and every Saturday after soccer games, I drove home to Bridgewater to see my parents and attend worship on Sunday morning.

Before coming to King Street I emphasized piano solo, but it was such a joy to work on sacred choral music with Diane and her singers that I fell in love with accompanying the choirs. This was a primary factor in my decision to pursue degrees in both performance and accompaniment.

I accepted the position of Music Director a few years ago. King Street has been such an integral part of my life, it would be hard to imagine life without it. I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with so many wonderful people, and I hope to call King Street my home for many years to come.
 

More About Me

 
I received a B.A. in music from Manhattanville College, in Purchase, New York, in 2002 and an M.M. in piano accompanying from the Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford, in 2004.

Since 2002 I have taught piano using the Suzuki method at the Suzuki Talent Education School in Newtown, Connecticut.

I am the piano accompanist for the Wooster School, my high-school alma mater, in Danbury, where I have the pleasure of working with the Middle School Chorus, the Upper School Chorus, and the Madrigal Chorus.

I am also the piano accompanist at the King and Low-Heywood Thomas School in Stamford, Connecticut, where I provide music for the Lower School Chorus, the Middle School Chorus, and the Upper School Chorus. I also work with the drama department in productions of their spring musicals, which have included Annie, Guys and Dolls, and Oklahoma.
