I am a very active person with several interests. I am from Irwin, a suburb in the Pittsburgh area. Irwin used to be the end point for the Pennsylvania Turnpike, before the bridge technology was developed to cross the three rivers of Pittsburgh.

I love music. At RIT, I performed with the Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, and occasionally performed with the RIT Philharmonia. I play both clarinet and tenor saxophone. I love the freedom of jazz, which I find to be great stress relief after a long day of classes and work. I served for a year as President for the RIT Student Music Association, which promotes music on the RIT campus. I also served as Vice President and Public Relations Director over the past four years.

I played in high school for the Norwin High School Band, which has been a most successful organization throughout the years. In the spirit of our 75th Anniversary, I co-wrote a 100 page commemorative book, A Standard of Excellence. I also participated in several honors bands, including the 1999 John Philip Sousa National Honors Band in Washington D.C.

I invite you to check out the rest of my website and return in the future as I update the site.
