In 2012, God gave me the opportunity to teach violin to a student. Since then, I have taught violin, viola, piano, and voice to students in the Portland area, and love the "aha" moment when a student finds their passion. In 2016, I decided to diversify by purchasing a Nikon camera and taking pictures of things I love: my wife, scenery in the pacific northwest, and aviation.
