Students involved with this program may be hopeful storytellers inspired by the creative vision of the latest popular Hollywood films, video games, television shows, and social media content.

He attended Aquinas College in Grand Rapids and Red Wing Technical College in Red Wing, MN. His organ teachers include William Elliott, Joseph Sullivan, and George Shirley. He has established himself as a church and theatre organist, as well as a teacher of both styles of organ playing. Growing up in Grand Rapids, he became acquainted with the theatre organ at “The Roaring Twenties,” later re-named “Good Time Charley's” Restaurant. In 1989 he joined the staff as organist until the business closed in 1991. His affair with this well-known Wurlitzer organ continued as he worked with the G.M. Buck Pipe Organ Company in restoring and installing the instrument in the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
