Interests

I'm still an active musician in the Chicago area, so music is one of my biggest passions in life. I play guitar, piano, bass, and percussion, I compose music, and I still occasionally teach private music lessons. I play guitar with a few groups based in Chicago, and my primary performances are weddings and corporate events. My wife Kelly and I love going out with friends and family, seeing concerts, exploring Chicago, and playing with our two adorable cats named Momo and Bubbles. I also really enjoy cooking, grilling, running, playing chess, golfing, watching TV shows, and being a nerd about Mario and Zelda games.
