About Me

I’ve spent the last 10 years performing and teaching on the violin, and the last four learning to do everything else. Since finishing my degree, I’ve worked in Luthiery shops, selling, diagnosing, and repairing high end string instruments, in warehouses, delivering packages and repairing eletric scooters, in schools, teaching strings and middle school math, and in arts administration at places like Carnegie Hall, and the Aspen Music Festival. In my free time I make things with film, wood, metal, software, and code. This is a place for me to track and share what I’ve made. Thanks for checking it out!
