I was born and raised in Kennewick, Washington.....that's the lower right hand corner for those non-washingtonians. I went to Eastern Washington University and earned a degree in string bass performance and then went on to the Eastman school of music receiving a master's degree there. I am a Musician (bassist) now living in Seattle, Washington......o.k. technically Kirkland, Washington. I have lived here for the last 5 years and in that amount of time made many new friends. Recently I have been performing with Ernestine Anderson, Jay Thomas, the Greg Williamson Quartet and the Axiom Quartet. I also play quite a few classical gigs jazz casuals and really enjoy playing with singer/song writers in the area. When not performing, practicing or writing music I try to enjoy all the outdoor activities that the Northwest has to offer. I am a long time mountain biker and have recently purchased a road bike. I was instantly addicted! I have been trying to hike a bit as well and this winter will try my hand (foot rather) at snow shoeing.
