I am so happy to be the orchestra teacher at Springhurst because I love being part of children's excitement at making music! I play all the orchestra instruments, but the instrument I play the most is the bass.  I've been playing music since I was 4 when I started piano lessons with my teacher down the hall, and picked up guitar and bass in middle school. I have pretty eclectic musical tastes like Miles Davis, Beethoven, Guns n Roses, The Beatles, Ryan Adams and the Punch Brothers.  I live in Croton on Hudson with my wife Brandy, my daughter Maddie and Rosie the cat. I've been teaching at Springhurst since 2008, and I love being part of such a vibrant and creative community!
