More about me…  

I was born in Baton Rouge, LA, and studied Violin at Louisiana State University. I’m an NBA fan, my favorite Beatle is George Harrison, and I listen to all types of music, but classical music has a special place in my heart–I have a tattoo of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring on my left arm:
