My Personal Commitment and Vision...

My personal commitment to our singers and this organization: To lead by exemplifying truth, respect, commitment, friendship, and service. To understand the great gift our children and youth bring to the world through choral music, leadership, and heartfelt singing.

My vision: To make the world a more unified and noble place for all by inscribing the hearts of our children and youth with the artistic beauty of musical poetry, love, and the Message of the Heart.

I thank God for my passion to make music.
I am thankful for those I will be serving, and I pray that I will always be humble in the process of serving.
