Roy has been playing handbells since 1999, first ringing at Faith Presbyterian Church where he was a member of the handbell choir and quartet for 4 years. His involvement with SDHR started off as a "roving substitute" in 2001, and he became a member in 2002. He serves as Associate Handbell Director at First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, and is a founding member of Timbré Ensemble.  He enjoys arranging music for handbells, having done both small ensemble and full choir arrangements.  In addition to handbells, his musical training includes clarinet, piano and organ.

Jenn was inspired at the age of 12 by a touring bell choir visiting her church.  She enjoyed 6 years of making music with family and friends before going off to college. For several years, occasional substituting and an annual handbell conference kept her from getting too rusty, but were never enough to satisfy.  She now rings both in the Church of the Good Samaritan (Episcopal) handbell choir, as well as SDHR.  She spends her weekdays as a product development engineer for a hi-tech company, and devotes her free time to the care and encouragement of people, plants, and animals.

Debbie started ringing bells at the First United Methodist Church of Escondido in 1972.  She rings with Celebration Bells at FUMC, where she spends most of her time ringing on the upper table.  She has been ringing with SDHR since inception. She plays the upper octaves in SDHR, particularly A5 and B5.
Debbie is office manager for food service at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.  She enjoys making beaded jewelry, constructing dollhouse miniatures, and taking frequent trips to Disneyland.  Her cat and parrot keep her life joyful and amusing.

Josh has been playing handbells since 1994. He began with the San Diego Harmony Ringers at inception, and plans on continuing to ring with them indefinitely.  He is looking forward to the day the Harmony Ringers will be able to grow their own handbell collection to a full 7-octave set, including chimes, and have an ensemble big enough to play them all.  He works as an information security specialist for a technology company.

Kathryn learned to ring bells in 6th grade, but did not begin ringing with a full choir until her sophomore year in college at UCSB where she majored in Linguistics. She took a long break from bell-ringing while working toward her M.A. in Speech Pathology at San Diego State University.  She now works full-time in the public schools (with fellow SDHR member Trisha Talley), providing speech therapy for mainstream and deaf/hard-of-hearing students. She likes to ring all up and down the table, and occasionally plays some of the bass bells.  She also rings with the Church of the Good Samaritan (Episcopal) handbell choir, sings in the La Jolla Symphony Chorus, and sings at La Jolla Lutheran church, where she is the soprano soloist.

Lila started ringing handbells in high school.  She also rang with the Joy Ringers of the First United Methodist Church in Chula Vista, CA. Since then, she has rung in many different choirs and in unusual locations. She enjoys ringing both the low and the high bells.  She began ringing with the San Diego Harmony Ringers as an emergency substitute during the 2003 Christmas season, then became a full member the following season. When not ringing bells, she works as a management analyst for the City of San Diego. She has two adult children and three cats.

Meredith has been ringing handbells for almost 20 years.  She has been in Harmony Ringers for about 8 years along with her mother Patty.

Patty began as a substitute with San Diego Harmony Ringers, then officially joined the group in the summer of 2002. She has been playing handbells since 1985, but has enjoyed music of all kinds for all of her life.  She especially enjoys ringing bells anywhere on the middle table. When not ringing, she enjoys cooking, reading, playing the piano, and going to Disneyland. She and her husband have two lovely daughters, Meridith and Kristina, one rather cranky cat, Henry, and one grand-dog, Elsa.

She also enjoys frequent visits to her nieces in Texas.  Susan is one of the most expressive ringers in the group and is often seen dancing and smiling as she performs.

Tim joined SDHR after spending the latter part of 2008 as a substitute. He has directed both adult and children’s handbell choirs when he was a church music director in the Chicago area in 1999-2002.
