I'm just a Fiddler.......No more, No Less.
I make my current home with the Americeltic Rock Band - HOMELAND.....
I was brought up in a small town in Northwest Ohio where I started my music studies at the age of 5 on the piano. I then moved to the Viola at the age of 8.
I have played in many orchestras throughout the Midwest and South as section and/or principal Violist. I have also studied with world renowned Violist Jerzy Kosmala at Louisiana State University and have shared the stage with the likes of Itzak Perlman, Pinkus Zukerman, Mark O'Connor, and Natalie McMaster, to name a few.
I was fortunate enough to make my Carnegie Hall debut in 1986 with the Baton Rouge Symphony and then to returned in 1987 as a member of the Louisiana State Chamber Ensemble. A total dream comes true.
In 1997, I discovered Celtic music, and for the first time in my career, picked up a fiddle and became a founding member of the Celtic band, Knot Fibb'n .
In 2001, I joined the band, Homeland . Where along with my friends, Scott McGillivray, Rob Koogler and Jeremy Washburn, try to put a little Rock and Roll in our Reels. We have just recorded our 4th CD, We Never Got This Far Alone and hope that it helps us to continue our hopes and dreams.
Two years ago, I was fortunate to be hired on as Luthier for The Loft Violin Shop , in Columbus, Ohio. My job is restoration of Violins and Violas.
So, I am very lucky. I now have a fiddle under my face 24 hours a day!
