Violinist

I started when I was 6.

I'm in the band Midwest.

My violin was once stolen.

I've had the good fortune to have worked with an amazing array of artists, including Mel Tormé, Smokey Robinson, Johnny Frigo & Joe Vito, Marian McPartland, Michael Feinstein, James Earl Jones, Michael Tree (of the Guarneri Quartet), and Johnny Mathis.
