I started playing the banjo after sustaining a knee injury playing softball. My main teachers have been Emily Spencer, Harold B. Hausenfluck, and Larry Pennington. I have played with several bands including The Fox Creek Ramblers, The Farmers' Daughters, The Virginia Whistlepigs, The Glade Valley Spring Chickens, The Donavan Cain and Trish Kilby Old-Time Bluegrass Duo, The Blue Ridge Mountain Ramblers, and The Mount Rogers Ramblers. Currently I am a member of the Oldtown Revelers old-time band, based out of Sparta, NC. I have also played rhythm guitar with a few other groups on an irregular basis. I love both old-time and bluegrass music. I enjoy playing at fiddlers' conventions and community events.
