Diane has spent much of her life sitting on organ and piano benches, preparing for worship services. Her desire has always been to honor God through music and to assist others in performances that enhance the congregation’s worship experiences.

At age 12 she began playing organ in her home church in Maine, subsequently earning a master’s degree in organ performance. Diane has served as organist and assistant to music directors in cities across the country. She thinks deeply about the purposes and practices of music in worship and finds great joy in making music with folks at Ascension.
