I began playing the violin in 1980.  A year later  I
began studying privately with Thomas Downs, a
retired member of the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra.  While at Grand Valley State
University pursuing a violin performance
bachelor degree, I studied with Diane McElfish
of the Grand Rapids Symphony.  I performed
with the Grand Valley Symphony Orchestra and
Grand Valley Chamber Orchestra as
concertmaster and soloist; I was also a
member of the West Shore Symphony during
my college years.  Since 1996, I have been
performing with the Macomb Symphony
Orchestra and teaching privately.

 I have performed wedding ceremonies for
friends and family since 1990 and am now
pursuing a wedding performance career.  I look
forward to enhancing your special day with
music for your special occasion.
   I have performed all around the Metro Detroit area.
