Bio

I hold a Master’s degree from Indiana University in lute performance where I studied with Nigel North, Paul O’Dette, Lyle Nordstrom, and Patrick O’Brien. Finding that I was 500 years too late to get a job as a lutenist, I now work at Indiana University as a Director of Communications and Marketing and perform in a local rock band.  After years of playing the guitar, I began playing lute in 1990, studying with Karen Myers in Philadelphia. From 1998 to 2001 I served as co-editor of the LSA Quarterly. Since 2019 I’ve served as a loyal caretaker of the LSA Lute Rental Program.
