I am four-time Southern California fiddle champ and 12 year judge at the Topanga Banjo/Fiddle contest every year. I was a park musician at Knott's Berry Farm and Magic Mountain and toured Japan with Knotts. I've been in several local bands such as Dick Tyner & Train 45 and toured the midwest with them, GoldCoast (we opened for groups like Nickel Creek), and in the Phoenix, Arizona band, Shady Creek, which was a finalist bluegrass band in 1998 for the Pizza Hut International Bluegrass Showdown in Louisville, Kentucky (IBMA).
