About Me

I am a musician studying jazz at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT. I play the alto saxophone. I live in Stamford, Ct with when im not in school. I was born on June 15th, 1984 in Astoria, New York.I pretty much love everything about life. Music is my passion, but im also athletic and outdoorsie. I love playing and watching sports. I played hockey for 12 years before I took up music. My favorite teams are the Jets, Mets, Rangers and Knicks. I used to live in Greece when I was younger. I am 100% Greek and speak it fluently. I go there every summer for about 2 months and just have the time of my life. Like I said before I am a musician and I spent most of my time practicing and becoming the best I can be at playing and teaching music. I am a Jazz Performance major and I am getting a certification in education before I hit up the masters thing.
