I was born on a mountain in Idaho amidst chickens, goats, and pigs.  From humble beginnings, I won a scholarship to Germany and thus learned the language.  I am bilingual in both German and English and am in the process of getting my citizenship in Italy and therefore the EU.  My ultimate goal would be to live in Europe full-time or half-time if necessary. 

For the past 30 years, I have worked as a professional musician, mainly on the violin, but I also play guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dobro.  And since 2002, I have worked as a professional actor as well.  My first film production was Sin City as Priest #2.  I love acting and hope to continue it well into the future.
