I am originally from Springfield, Missouri. My family and I moved to Colorado in 2000. I have been directing the choirs at Legacy since 2001. In addition, I am the school’s Thespian Troupe (drama club) sponsor and Director/Producer of all of the theatrical productions at Legacy as well as teaching the THEATRE I class.
