| Occupation | violinist |
| Location | Boston, Massachusetts, United States |
| Introduction | I'm a violinist (classical, contemporary classical, Celtic fiddle) living in Boston, city of my youth. I also design websites and graphics for composers and performers in the Boston area. If I had spare time, I would fill it by learning tons of languages, traveling (especially to islands. I like the sea), watching several varieties of British television, reading, and following Dave McCarty's post-MLB career obsessively. My favorite conductor is Robert Spano, my favorite singers are Mariusz Kwiecen and Bryn Terfel, and my favorite font is probably Cochin. I love everything Welsh and the script of Mongolian. I'm beginning to lose trust in Terry Francona. Right now, my life mainly consists of practicing, doing my web and graphic design work, going to the gym, and enjoying being back home in Boston. I'll probably go back to school next year, though, for a graduate degree. |
