I was born in Chicago, moved when I was two to Rantoul, IL where I spent my childhood. I moved back to Chicago in 2001 and now live in South Holland, IL.
B.M. in Piano Performance from the Wheaton College Conservatory of Music.
I am one of 18 siblings, and I was home-schooled until I went off to college. Started playing the piano at age four and music has taken over my life from there. Proud husband of almost four years in June and proud father of a genius named Stephen who is 20 months and plays the piano, drums, basketball, preaches and teaches all in a days work. He also listens to more music than I do and I'm not kidding.
Family time, basketball, chess, TV, music, boxing, basically sports of any kind excluding golf.
Kirk Franklin, Israel Houghton, CeCe Winans, Mary Mary, most contemporary gospel, Jazz, R&B, and some Hip Hop. I'm learning to appreciate CCM and Christian Rock playing at Willow Creek. I love and grew up on classical music from Chopin to Rachmaninoff, Beethovan, Liszt, Grieg, Bach, and many others I cannot pronouce.
Everybody's got Shawshank and that's truly one of my favorites. The Negotiator, Sound of Music, Life, The Philadelphia Story (Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart - a must see), Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Godfather trilogy, Booty Call (with Jamie Foxx), The Score (Edward Norton), Primal Fear (Edward Norton - a must see as well), A Few Good Men, GoodFellas, Training Day, Crimson Tide, Out Of Time, actually anything Denzel Washington. And how could I forget Gladiator and Braveheart? Those are just a few of my favorites.
Boston Legal, SportsCenter, Flavor of Love, The Office, I Love New York, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, Girlfriends, All of Us, The Apprentice, The Contender, HGTV, Electronic Connection (Home Shopping) and anything that has to do with Lions and Tigers or big cats.
The Rest of God, And The Place Was Shaken, and I must say The Bible.
Playing basketball with my five older brothers, and traveling and playing different places on piano.
