When I am not teaching or playing music for a living, I am a division 1 student-athlete skiing for the University of Colorado Boulder while also pursuing two degrees. After over a decade of following my passion for the fiddle banjo, and flute, I have qualified top 7 in the world to compete in Ireland amongst the best players in the world!

I was born and raised in Anchorage Alaska where I was introduced to traditional old-time and Irish music. While no musician on any instrument from Colorado or Alaska has brought home the world title, with your help, this is a real possibility!

It is my dream to represent the United States of America in Europe and bring home the world title.

It takes a village to inspire a young kid from Alaska to take up the fiddle, but it requires a nation to compete and win on an international stage.

I would not be in this position today without the help and support of family, friends, and communities around the world and I am humbly asking you to be a part of my dream.

To represent the U.S. in Europe, I need your help to raise $3,000 to help cover my travel expenses to the World Finals!
