Zachary Makes His Way To LA

In April of 2007, Zachary attended the ASCAP (American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers) Expo in Los Angeles, CA.  While he was only one of about 2300 people who attended this Expo, Zachary attended as a representative of McNally Smith College of Music. 

The Expo featured many successful industry people such as Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Jermaine Dupris, Randy Newman, and John Rich.  Full of songwriters, composers, and publishers, this Expo was an amazing opportunity to network and grow!

Filled with knowledge and enthusiasm, Zachary has now returned to St. Paul to apply what he learned to his offices as President of the McNally Smith Student Songwriter's Association, and Vice President of the McNally Smith Student Senate. 

This won't be his last trip to LA, but it was certainly a life changing excursion!

- Farewell Concert A Hit!

July 23rd was a great day in the life of this organist!  357 people turned out for the farewell concert! 

I would personally and sincerely like to thank everyone who came and took part in the evening.  I could not have had a better send off and am extremely touched that so many people were there to share in this experience. 

It has truly been a pleasure to serve the Lord in your churches over the years.  Thank you for allowing me that opportunity.

God Bless!
