Tom Woods (Tenor 2/Board member) I'm a 55 yo Manager with the Oregon Department Revenue ; spend my time biking, cross-country skiing, and hiking with my wife and daughter. I started with Satori after 39 years absent from choral singing. With Satori I have moved closer to improving my singing voice and site reading music. I enjoy singing the variety of music chosen for our concerts with this group of men.
Doug Sherman (T2/Board Director) At 59 , Satori has been a big part of my life for nearly 15 yrs, since it's 1st rehearsal in 1993. I arrived with few vocal skills and no Choral experience...and I have learned & grown. I am a retired educator now consulting and volunteering

The harmonies we make together are vastly better than anything I
can sing by myself. The men are fun, funny, talented, and committed.
Satori is a great group, and provides me with a good musical outlet.
