I began pursuing violin making in 1996 because the trade combined two fields of study that I love, woodworking and music. I find great joy in restoring old instruments to their full potential and creating new instruments that allow a musician to develop their own unique voice.

My shop is currently in David Bromberg Fine Violins, LLC in Wilmington, DE. I graduated from the North Bennet Street School with a concentration in Violin Making and Restoration under the tutelage of Marilyn Wallin, Kevin Kelley, and Todd Goldenberg.
