Hobbies

I was a professional musician for many years, playing the drums and percussion in various touring groups. More recently, I served as a board member for the Black Bear Film Festival, a non-profit organization focusing on local, independent films. I coordinated a team of volunteers, designed and developed the film program, and arranged all venue logistics. Most excitingly, I developed the Young Amateur Film-Makers Forum, a short-film program featuring the work of local middle- and high-school students.
