I have always wanted to play the organ -- even as a preschooler I used to be up before dawn on Sundays to see the broadcast of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on TV just to see the organ. I started on the piano, and started organ in Jr. High. The first organ (and still my favorite of all that I have had the opportunity to play) was a 1967 III/60 Aeoline-Skinner at the First Presbyterian Church in Dearborn, MI (later additions by Casavant).

I am currently the organist for First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Bedford, IN where we have a 1962 II/28 Holtkamp organ. We are planning to do some major upgrades to the organ shortly -- conversion to solid state/MIDI, cleaning and revoicing of the reeds, and some other mechanical refurbs.

At home I am currently putting together a II/7 Moller (op 5990) from a church in Rockford, IL. The organ was removed and placed into storage before I acquired it. Therefore, there are several items that I will be asking for assistance to locate. The organ will be set up in our basement. Fortunately I have an understanding wife who appreciates my love of the organ.
