Organizations

I'm independent. But professionals have often hired me to play in their groups.

Publications

I didn't write for any publications.

Education/Credentials

This should have been my career. I am an engineer, but my music is my passion. Flute is my favorite, though I also play many woodwinds and some brass. I am totally self-taught. But I have often played in groups made up mostly of professionals. All in all I am still the area's best-kept secret.

Awards and Honors

Biggest honor was playing an emotional piece, and looking out over the audience. Two big, tough construction workers had tears rolling down their cheeks.

Past/Present Clients

Taught various school students in MD and PA, but none since 1999.
