Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am currently at UMASS Boston (2014) majoring in Geography/Earth Sciences.

I can play the Tenor and Baritone Saxophones as well as the violin. I plan on eventually learning the guitar and bass. Music is a big part of my life. I think that everyone has a song or two they have a strong connection to which shows the power of music!

I also enjoy skiing, B rated horror movies, and history.
