MORE ABOUT ME

Being part of Boise's arts and cultural scene, as both a performer and educator, is an incredibly rewarding part of my life.  Since 2012, I have been part of that scene, when I won my position as Principal Second Violin of the Boise Philharmonic.  Since then, a regular performing schedule has shaped me into the musician I am today.

​

Before coming to Boise, I grew up in Portland, OR, where an environment of friendly competition among young musicians instilled in me a drive to make music my lifelong pursuit.  That drive led me to the College of Idaho in 2008, where I studied with violinist Geoffrey Trabichoff and other members of the Langroise Trio to hone my skills for the professional world.

Though I came from Oregon, and before that, Ohio, Idaho is really now my home.  My wife Kate, also a violinist, and I love cooking, trying new restaurants in Boise's increasingly cosmopolitan scene, and spending time in the beautiful Idaho outdoors (or just our backyard) with our corgi pup, Finlay.
