About Us

I am a music teacher at a local high school in Vancouver, WA. I teach Jazz Band, Concert Band, Orchestra and Guitar. I have taught for the the past 9 years . My wife and I love the theatre, as it was where we 1st met. We do a lot of volunteer work with local theatres in downtown Portland. My wife and I also run our own business which she runs from home. We interview people for their life story, edit them and then put them on DVD, adding music and photos for the families. We have a daughter who is 12 years old . She is a swimmer and performs in her school choir. We also have a 7 pound dog that is named Jimminy Cricket. My wife and I both grew up in southern California. We have a great passion for travel and are trying to share a diverse world with our daughter. We have many chances for vacation time as I am a teacher and have time off when my daughter does.
