I grew up in Massachusetts on the South Shore of Boston. My first exposure to bluegrass was in the early '70's when a co-worker in a restaurant turned me on to the flatpicking of Doc Watson and Dan Crary. When I moved to Washington DC to attend college, my passion for this music heated up even more.  I remember hitchhiking out to Alexandria to catch the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere. Since then, I've never looked back as this music is a big part of my life.

My musical tastes are pretty diverse as well as deep but bluegrass remains at the top of the heap. In addition to listening to as much music as possible, I also like to play it. My main instrument is guitar but I can also play some mandolin.


For the past nineteen years I have lived in New York City in the borough of Manhattan with my wife, Anne and son, David (age 9 1/2). ˙My day job is in the financial world. I am grateful to Roger for giving me the chance to be part of this cool team. Also thanks to Terri ˙for getting me up and running!
