Tell us a little about your family.
My parents relocated to Charlotte County from the "City of Brotherly Love" in 1973. I graduated in 1981 from Charlotte High School in Punta Gorda and continued my college education in Philadelphia. I was married in 1985 and raised my son, Robert who is now engaged to be married. He and his Fiancée, Damla Sonmez currently reside in Columbia, SC. Where she is completing her education. I am grateful for God's abundant blessings everyday!

Tell us a little about your family.
My husband Michael and I come from the state of Wisconsin and have been “Snow Angels” for the past 4 years. In 2021 we decided to move to Florida full time, living in the community of La Casa. We are a blended family with four children between us ranging in age from 27 to 39. We also are proud grandparents to 4 grandchildren with 2 more on the way!! God is Good!!
Tell us a little about you.
I was born and raised in Upper Michigan where my mother was the youngest of 10 children. Before cell phones and social media, our family learned to sing and play an instrument – my love for music comes from these family roots.

Tell us a little about your family.
April & I moved to Punta Gorda, FL in May of 2019. It was at this time I began to fill in for churches needing a pianist, accepting the position here at Trinity United Methodist Church. We have a daughter, Misty who’s involved with the Indianapolis children’s choir. Our son-in-law Wes, is in the real estate business. They live in the Indianapolis area. My wife, April & I have appeared at over 15,000 live performances. Even appearing in the 90th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. That career lasted 36 years. During that time I also played piano for two churches in the Indianapolis area.
Tell us a little about you.
I grew up in a musical and artistic family in southern Indiana. The arts were natural for me. I studied piano with my father and in college with a professor who’d played with the Chicago symphony. With a background in entertainment and performance, I began a career as a public speaker, musician, magician & clown for a global corporation. I also perform for weddings, anniversaries and private parties.
My favorite Bible verse:
Psalm 126:5, All those who sow weeping, will go out with songs of joy.
