About

I was 9 when my mom traded a radio with my grandfather for a cheap student violin. By 13, I was ready to quit, but a compromise of "just one more year" kept me practicing. That "one more year" has resulted in a lifelong passion spanning over four decades.

Inspired by my parents' love for Bill Monroe's bluegrass, I left the world of classical training and replaced my violin strings for fiddle "strangs." These days, I mostly play at home, occasionally sharing recordings on social media — but you might also catch me at a jam or filling in with a local bluegrass band.

This site is where I keep the notes that go alongside the music: tunes I'm working on, arrangements, transcriptions, fiddle styles, gear, and the things I want to remember. The playing itself lives on YouTube.
