I have been a Sweet Adeline since 1994. In those 13 years I have been extremely fortunate to have won 4 Regional First Place overall Medals with Sound of New England Chorus, 4 Regional First Place Division A Medals with Millennium Magic, 3 Regional 5th Place overall Medals with Millennium Magic, one 2nd Place International Silver Medal - Division A and in July 2003 a…
I had been a lead for 10 of my 13 years as a Sweet Adeline and have switched to bass for the past 3 years. If you were ever wondering… it is hard to relearn songs from the melody to a harmony part. I am enjoying singing bass and find it a joyful challenge.
I started quarteting 3 months after joining Sweet Adeline’s and have continued it for most of my ten years with a small 3-year break in the middle. I’m very fortunate to have quarteted with some wonderful ladies, Heidi Oswell, Alison Draper, Terri Meyer, Debbie Warwick, Marybeth Kelmel, Tina Zeisser, Andrea Marcolini, Kathy Moore (Deweese), Karen Lee and Jane Pianka.
Duane and I have been married for 7 years and live in Agawam, Massachusetts. We have a son Ethan who was born 8/25/2005 and is teaching us whole new way to love!!!
We have a two children Ethan born 8/25/2005 and Brady born 4/25/2007. Both are teaching us whole new way to love!!!
We also have Roxie who is our first baby. She is a Lab/Shepard mix and was a rescue. Both Kids and Roxie have brought so much joy to our lives; we don’t know how we ever managed without them…chaos and all!!
I work at a full service Marketing Research Company in Bloomfield, CT where I am the Field Director for our Data Collection Departments. In my spare time, when I am not working or singing, I enjoy reading, golfing, crafts, doing work in and around our home and most of all spending time with my Family and friends.
And my friends are extremely supportive of the CULT oops I mean chorus. You know my HABIT, I mean hobby.

Being apart of Millennium Magic is a dream come true and a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am a contributing member of the Management, Visual, and Staging, Emcee and Choreography teams as well as the organizer of many “odd “jobs.
Millennium Magic works by a team method in every sense of the word and WE LOVE IT. There is nothing more satisfying then get everyone’s input and then seeing the fantastic, creative and inspiring idea’s that come out of it.
We are STILL learning about the two keys factors that makes Millennium Magic what it is… Communication and Honesty but so far these things have brought us far and I am looking forward to MORE of this wonderful Journey.
My Motto in Life:
"Laugh out loud and Laugh Often"
