Bio

I’m a musician in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St Paul, Minnesota. I specialize in piano, Hammond Organ, jazz, rock, blues, and music theater. I also play accordion.  If you need someone for a gig, or want to say hi, use the contact page, I live in St Louis Park with Melissa Holm-Johansen and our husky-cross, Vesla. Both are pretty decent singers, especially Melissa!

I taught piano and improvisation in Minneapolis and elsewhere for the last 19 years.  For my piano and improv training, I am fortunate to have had some great teachers, notably Jerry Bergonzi, Gary Klemp, and Liz Wolff.

I was music director for Collide Theatrical Dance Company and Interact Center For the Visual and Performing Arts.
