“I had always wanted to learn to play the piano, but never slowed down long enough to follow through. Then we lost our daughter, I was devastated and my world came to a screeching halt. I need something to get me going again, so that year my wife and son gave me a grand piano for father’s day. Shortly thereafter I met Mark and begin to take professional lessons, it was just what I needed. Being an executive in a very demanding industry, I find that piano for me, is a relaxing escape from stressful situations.”
