I was born in rural Illinois during a January blizzard to a dairy farmer and stay-at-home mom in 1980. I grew up around the prairies my Scots/Irish ancestors settled when they immigrated to America nearly two centuries ago.

I am uncertain whether I fell in love with music or if music fell in love with me. Being a dreamer, my naivety about music and the creation of, never stopped me from writing songs as a child and envisioning myself performing. I followed the paths available to me at the time and sang in local congregations and at celebrations. Pouring over books of fiction and non-fiction alike, I became enthralled with the world and music of the Celts in the mid 1990's. Drawn in by the rhythms and sounds, I became deeply interested in uncovering the past and linking the present.

Beyond music I have a great many interests with shelves of books, magazines, and articles that attest to my ever growing curiosity. From cooking, to religion, history, travel nutrition, sewing, gardening, letter writing and decorating, I have enough to last at least two lifetimes! When I am able to carve out time for myself, I can be found with at least four books open, in the process of being read, and a few dozen magazines at my feet.
