About Me

I play viola with the Ryan Montbleau Band (http://www.ryanmontbleau.com)and I'm having the time of my life. I'm on the road constantly. When I'm home, I play with other talented local musicians. Sometimes I play with Uncle Shaker who are a great bunch of guys with a great mission (http://www.uncleshaker.us). I love music anywhere and anytime. Even after being on the road , I hang out in places where there are open mics and such and play more. I strive to make my instrument sound the way I hear it in my head. Music has been the only real constant in my life and has given me the opportunity to travel all over the world and meet some groovy individuals along the way. I enjoy finding inspiration in things that aren't musical, mainly the outdoors, people, art and books.
