Biographical Info.
For many years, I lived in the Westchester County/Hudson Valley region of New York, soaking up the rich history, culture, and musical influences of this area. In 2018, I moved to the Rochester area, which has its own impressive musical history and lore. In both locales, I've had the good fortune to have studied with some renowned music teachers who have helped me hone my musical chops. I've also had many talented musical friends with whom I've played and recorded, and who keep me enthused about playing and writing.
