About Me

I started playing the mandolin in the summer of 2002, after a year of playing the violin. Since then I have tried several instruments, but the mandolin still remains my main instrument. I have been involved with music all my life, sittin' by the piano and figuring out on my own how things worked, but it wasn't until the summer of 2001 that I started being serious about it. Now, music is one of the most important things in my life. I also compose and arrange music.. My other interests include photography, drawing and other kinds of art, and making food.. I love nature, and spending time with friends.
