My passion for music began at the age of four, when my parents enrolled me in Yamaha group lessons. Growing up in a musical family, I was surrounded by creativity and sound: my grandfather played the fiddle, my father was a choir director and guitarist who also played the banjo, and both my mother and sister are gifted vocalists.

​

Music became a lifelong calling. From the moment I discovered the intricate workings of a grand piano as a child, I unknowingly awakened a life long passion that continues to bring joy to many.  During my high school years, an aptitude test once suggested I should rebuild ships — a fitting metaphor, as I ultimately found myself rebuilding pianos. I have the privilege of restoring instruments sometimes made before 1875, crafting missing parts by hand and bringing them back to life.  The moment an instrument sings again after restoration is profoundly rewarding; it feels as though the piano's distinct voice has returned.

Alongside my musical pursuits, I am also a dedicated golf professional. The discipline, precision, and rhythm required in both music and golf have always complemented each other, allowing me to express passion, patience, and artistry in every endeavor.
