Singing Tenor in the Four J's quartet in High School was Judy's introduction to barbershop.  In 1976, when her youngest was 2 1/2, she walked into a Black Hills Chorus rehearsal and fell in love with the harmony.  Nine years later, she became the Director.  The love affair continues, thanks to so many talented singers who have allowed her to be their musical director.

Judy served six years on the seven state Region 8 Management Team as Directors' Coordinator, and was awarded the Region's highest honor in 2017, Queen of Hearts.  She is a Certified Music Arranger, Harmony 500 Director, married lady (Brent), Mom to Brus and Matt, Gramma to Coral, Remy, and Axel, and special Mom to her stepchildren.
