Tell us about yourself

Mandolin playing has been my biggest passion since I picked it up over 20 years ago. As a performing artist, I've been quite successful and have always had a significant interest in teaching.

I've helped thousands of mandolin players feel inspired and motivated to play their instrument daily.
