Bio: I call myself a harper for harmony. I've traveled with my harps throughout the US and abroad - to Haiti, Russia, N. Ireland, and Latin America.

A former fiddler, I took up the harp in 1991 after visiting farms in Venezuela with a group of agricultural scientists. The harp is hugely popular in Venezuelan traditional music. In recent years I've been collaborating in the promotion of sustainable agriculture, at home as a member of Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, and in Venezuela with Adolfo Cardozo, a singing professor of agriculture and environmental education.

See my website for more.Also, I am an elected representative on the Monongalia County Democratic Executive Committee.
