I currently serve as Chairman and a co-founder of OneClick.chat, a video chat platform which provides engagement for older adults as another tool to deter the onset of dementia and improve health.

I blame my folks for my love of travel and exploration. I probably should have been born a couple centuries ago when there were still parts of the world to discover and explore, I’ve been lost in the Sahara and naked in the Amazon but right at home at the Ritz in Paris.

In addition to the enormous impact that Scott Beard made on the lives of his colleagues and students, my partner of 31 years left a legacy of published works. He recorded four piano solo CDs, including a collection of the works of Theodore Leschetisky and Frederik Chopin, which I have archived and made available through this site. He also published eight essential teaching books for the piano with his colleague Dr. Lucy Mauro. Here's where to find them.
