Lorie found out about Chapter Seven after she picked up Larry Rossomondo at a bar one night and decided he was a keeper.  Larry soon found out about her other talents when the band began looking for a keyboard and backup vocal.  Lorie took classical piano lessons from the age of 6 all through high school.  Her musical talent is being revived by studying under legendary music instructor Scott Stancill.  Her singing career started in her early years when during performances, she'd be placed strategically on stage because her voice carried so well across a room.

Lorie's other passions are motorcycle riding, of which she is an instructor full time, and martial arts.
