About our Music Director:

Andrew Bucior, Jr. is a native of western Pennsylvania, where he attended the University of Pittsburgh for both undergraduate and graduate studies in biology, chemistry, and dental medicine. Additional professional certifications followed in business management, human resources, safety, health, and environmental management, and music performance.

Andy began his career in church music as a fourteen-year old substitute organist for several churches in Johnstown, PA, until joining the staff of Westmont United Presbyterian Church in 1968. In addition to serving as an organist or organist/choirmaster for several denominations during the next fifteen years, a secular musical career as a symphony violist, choral accompanist, and organ recitalist was also a part of his life before moving to North Carolina to further his primary career in apparel manufacturing. Andy joined the staff of Sedgefield Presbyterian Church in September 1983, and has enjoyed his involvement in the growth and development of the music program, including several new musical ensembles, the addition of handbells, and the installation of an outstanding new organ.

Andy and his wife Barbara have five "children" - Andrew III, Matthew, Sarah, Benjamin, and Samuel. When not at the church, or working as the Manager of Safety Assurance for VF Jeanswear, Andy's other interests include reading, traveling, flying, sailing, woodworking, and model railroading.
