We are all given many gifts in life. Each gift has the power to change us enrich us and challenge us to stretch our skills and abilities. For me, music, playing piano, performing organ recitals, and singing in choir groups has been my artistic contribution through the years. My professional experience in management and leadership roles has lead to participation in numerous volunteer programs in the community. Serving as Chairman and President of ArtsNET these last few years has been pure joy in the journey. I see this role as an opportunity to reach out and mentor young local artists who have “Caught the art bug!”
