| Steve has been the Rodgers Representative in Chicago for 28 years. He has designed/installed 60 pipe organs and over 700 electronic organs during his tenure. Steve served on the Rodgers Executive Panel during the development of Rodgers' Digital Organs in the late 80's. He continues to have input into the design of instruments to meet music ministry needs.
Being an accomplished organist, his gifts are well suited to assist you in purchasing an instrument. He has served as Music Director for very "traditional" churches and also served as the Principal Organist for Elmbrook Church (in a "blended" worship environment)in Wisconsin for seven years. Steve is a Guest Soloist for the Elgin Symphony Orchestra. His diverse musical background is a great asset in consulting with churches of all types with regard to selecting the "right" instrument(s) to meet any worship style. |

| | The music industry has always been a part of Mark's life since he was old enough to hold a job. His vast history of music retail experience as well as his specialized focus in institutional sales has privileged him to assist music teachers, their students and families, professional musicians, and worship leaders from countless religious organizations in our market area. Drawing from his personal history and 20+ year relationship with Triune Music, both as an outside consultant and company sales representative, his work with churches and synagogues has helped infuse new enthusiasm for their music programs. Church Musicians, music committees and worship leaders learn very quickly that Mark is passionate about helping them make decisions that will keep their music programs alive and well for generations to come. |
