I am a violist before anything else. Some people become musicians because they need to make music. I am convinced that had I not switched from violin to viola I would not have chosen music as my profession. (I still secretly wish I was an astronaut, but that’s a different story.) I love the sound of the instrument, I love the community, and I am passionate about shining a spotlight on this overlooked middle-voiced member of the string family. 

I am a musical omnivore. I play violin (don't shoot!!) but have come to understand that the viola is in all ways superior. I have studied many styles of music from Baroque to Tango to Klezmer. I've been on both sides of the microphone and working in the business since I was 14, so I have [redacted] years of experience and expertise to bring to your project.
