About Me

I’ve been sitting at the piano since my first lesson at age nine, and my passion for the instrument has only grown deeper over a lifetime of playing. For me, exploring music isn't just a craft—it's a daily pursuit.

But as a pianist, I learned early on that your playing is intimately connected to the voice of your instrument. An uninspired, out-of-tune piano holds you back, while an instrument performing at its peak unlocks your creativity and invites you to play longer, deeper, and better.

That realization is what led me behind the fallboard. As a piano technician, I bring that same lifelong passion for sound into the technical mechanics of the instrument—precision tuning, regulating, and restoring the rich, vibrant tone your piano was built to produce.

Ultimately, my goal is simple: to care for your instrument so you can focus on the joy of making music. Whether you're playing for yourself, your family, or an audience, I’m here to help your piano sound its absolute best.

I have been a Piano Technician since 1997.  

I believe in the highest standards for customer service, and I try my best to keep my clients happy and informed so that they may continue to enjoy their piano for a lifetime.
