Wendy started playing the violin in 2nd grade when she was given a full-sized violin by her Grandfather—a Jr. High Music teacher.  She now plays his violin (after a break of fifty years) and the orchestra was kind enough to let her make music with them.

She is married with five children and sixteen grandchildren.  Professionally, Wendy taught Suzuki Piano and Violin while her children were young and when they started school, she became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with offices in Federal Way and Tacoma.  She enjoys serving on community and professional boards and is active in her church.
