 | Bio
 | I have been a professional musician for 15 years. I have played on
several international tours and have recorded in New York, Los Angeles, Singapore and
Bangkok. In 1999 I decided to stay in the Philadelphia area and focus my attention on
teaching and the recording of a solo album.
I have studied privately with several acclaimed musicians associated with prestigious
music schools. My private instruction with these teachers formed my musical foundation and
continues to be the guide for me as I, in turn, have been given the opportunity to
instruct others.
