About Me

I play for Kate Voegele (Myspace/Interscope Records) and used to play in a jazz trio titled The Bodega Project. I also do freelance work around beautiful Cleveland, OH (go ahead and make the mistake on the lake joke). I love nature, snow storms, red wine (cab's mostly), and lots and lots of funky music. In my free time I've been known to dabble in some intense board game playing, and chess with my little brother (who beats me everytime). I also love my family and consider them my closest friends. For more about me, look over to the left in the little box marked interests, there are a bunch more things in there about me.Cheers
