Hello everyone, by profession I am a Gifted Intervention Specialist at a public high school in Ohio. But my true passion and talent in life is music. I was born autistic, and one of the marked traits of autism is intense narrow interests that consume a lot of our time. A fascination in the electronic organ, synthesizers, and dulcimers are my musical interests. I am a church organist in a Methodist church. I play my dulcimers mostly in churches as part of my music ministry. I have three hammered dulcimers: Folkcraft 16/15/4, a 12/11 kit model, and an 1840 era one from Belgium. As far as mountain dulcimers, I have three 6-string chromatics, three 4-string diatonics, and four 4-string chromatics. I also have a Folk Notes Banj-Mo. Some of my other interests include roller coasters/amusement parks, house plans, astronomy, Indian earthworks, caves, magic tricks, and writing. I look forward to being a part of this community.
