I'm a 25 year old grad East Tennessee State University, with a BA in Political Science and minor in Bluegrass. I started playing music at the age of four when I started teaching myself piano. I played saxophone for 10 years, until this past May when I was forced to quit due to some minor back problems. I started learning mandolin 7 years ago, guitar 5 and banjo 2. I recently got into building mandolins after spending a summer with a local guitar builder, Johnny, and a master banjo builder, Ronny Bales, father of Jason Bales. I'm hoping to either get into politics or be a professional bluegrass musician either playing mandolin, guitar, banjo, or bass and, if forced, singing lead and/or tenor. If anything else, just ask.
