I began playing clarinet at age 10 at Jennerstown Elementary School. I played typical school band music until I was 22, when I put the clarinet away because I knew I wasn't Pittsburgh Symphony material!   In 2001, I attended Pennsic War, a medieval re-enactment event held north of Pittsburgh and discovered Turkish folk music for bellydancing. The clarinet was never so sweet sounding! Immediately, I pulled my clarinet out of my closet and began to play again in 2001, this time focusing only on Mediterranean songs.

In 2006, I co-founded the bellydance band, Ishtar with Jeff Chmielarski on bass and added Ian Greene on darbuka and Tom Estlack on guitar in 2013. Ishtar often performs with several guest musicians, including Julian Broughton, Ayleeza Quatrocchi and Brett Zwerdling.
