I am a professional violinist. Practically, that means I can sight read and read music at a high level, can play in diverse styles, and can memorize lengthy portions of music. I can also improvise and compose melodies. I also play some mandolin. I am also an amateur stock car racer and have high performance driving skills, have skydived, hang glided, and taken flying lessons. I am a certified SCUBA diver, practice flying trapeze and have puppetry experience, and own an active passport.
