About Us

I completed a 36 year career with the U.S. Forest Service and then I was given a chance to move to where I've always wanted to live and here I am.

Working for the Forest Service was pretty enjoyable, it had its' moments as all jobs do, but for the most part, I was pretty happy there and I got to do lots of interesting things. I was a Fire Fighter, a Fire Lookout, a Road Engineer, a Radio Technician, a Telecommunications Specialist and finally just before retiring, I was an IT Specialist working on computers and computer networks. Spending my days in the mountais and the forest gave me my best memories though. Towards the end, my time was spent in computer rooms and under people's desks.

I have two daughters and 8 grand kids. I live with my fiancee and our two cats, Roy and Dale. I enjoy Photography and computers and I'm a wanna-be musician with delusions of fame and fortune!

.	My beloved Washy!

	Growing up in Southern California provided me with many performance opportunities; I was involved in theater, dance, and music from the age of 2. I've always adored performing no matter what the venue. Singing has been my main focus; I've been active as an event singer (Weddings, Receptions, Parties, Arts Festivals and Memorials). Newly retired from vocal coaching and music teaching, I now have time to pursue acting. I portrayed Rosemary in the comedic farce "Bullshot Crummond" and Truvy in "Steel Magnolias" with the Peninsula Players in Ilwaco, Washington last year. I've started doing live Improvisation there also. So far, my favorite character has been Truvy, her Southern charm and sage wisdom coupled with her honey-coated accent was irresistible. I played guitar and sang at The Chinook Arts Festival last year in WA .This Summer I'll sing at the Ilwaco Saturday Market. I have a 4-song CD recorded as a demo, as I am seeking local singing possibilities. You can here my songs by clicking on my picture. I was thrilled to find The Riverbend Players when I moved here; it's wonderful to have a group right here locally to bring Performance Theater to our area!
