I attended Montgomery College in Rockville and graduated with a degree in music education from the University of Maryland.  I have played music professionally for about twenty years. After teaching private lessons for many years, I enjoy the challenges and rewards of teaching band and strings at Olney Elementary School. I also teach at Flower Valley Elementary School, and Burning Tree Elementary School. I enjoy working out at the gym, cycling, and playing gigs, mostly as a freelance "fiddler".  I like to relax at home with my wife, two stepsons, and our two cats.  My favorite food is Spaghetti Caruso.  My favorite color is aquamarine.  My favorite animal is the DRAGON.
