Although an electrical engineering, Rockie made his mark in Cache Valley as a musician. He not only performs, he organizes musical variety programs.  After retiring, he earned a BA in music from USU with piano as his instrument and emphasis on composition. One of his compositions took third place in the 2023 Utah Music Teacher’s Association composition contest.

Rockie performs on piano, organ, and synthesizer in a wide variety of genres including classical, jazz, show tunes, and 70’s music. He brings a cadre of talented friends who perform as soloists, orchestras, string, brass, and vocal ensembles.
