Growing up, I was blessed to be surrounded by the warmth and joy of a large, close-knit family. Our home wasn’t much, but it was always filled with laughter, stories, and the comforting aroma of homemade meals. At the heart of it all were my grandparents, whose love and guidance shaped me into the person I am today.

From the moment I first heard the sound of a violin, I felt an instant, unexplainable connection. After getting my first violin, I spent countless hours practicing - or at least as much as my family could tolerate! Haha. Yet, somehow my grandparents still believed in me, sacrificing so much and encouraging me to follow my dream of becoming a violinist.

Years later, and now married - my wife and I took a gigantic leap of faith. With our hearts full of hope and a car packed with everything we owned, we moved halfway across the country to the City of Music - Nashville, Tennessee. It was more than a relocation - it was a promise to pursue my dream wholeheartedly. I soon found myself performing at countless events, bringing love stories to life through music at weddings, private events, and live shows across the entire region. Every event reminds me why we made this journey - because music has the power to change lives.

Along the way, I’ve embraced the diverse influences that have shaped my style - from the timeless beauty of classical works to the vibrant energy of pop, country, and contemporary hits. No matter the genre, I’m inspired to explore the violin’s limitless potential.

I have the honor of performing on a violin made in Florence, Italy, by Giovanni Battista Gabrielli in 1765.
