I started my musical journey with piano lessons and children's choir, but found my love of stringed instruments when I began taking violin at the age of ten. Over the years I added acoustic, electric, and bass guitar to my stable of instruments, before eventually finding my musical home on mandolin.

I compose music for mandolin and other stringed instruments which you can find on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or any other streaming service you can think of! I also do custom compositions for social media, video projects, and more. 

I have recently performed as a member of the pit orchestra at LyricArts, Artistry Theater, Daleko Arts, and Bunce Performing Arts, as well as solo performances at Camp Fire MN and elsewhere. I have also performed as a member of the Minnesota Mandolin Orchestra, where I led the First Mandolin section. 

I live in Chaska, MN with my wife and two cats. Besides playing music, I enjoy hiking, birdwatching, audio and video production, studying religion/philosophy, and drinking green tea.
