My two children and I move back to Sevier county in the fall of 2010. I was raised in a family who enjoys sharing music. It was my Father's dream to have his very own family bluegrass band, so I started playing the fiddle at age 5 with Jim Shupe. I studied under several National Fiddling Champions such as Tony Ludiker, Jaydean Ludiker and Chris Daring and also competed in the National Fiddling Competition that is held each year in Weiser, ID.
I have been a dedicated music educator since I was 13 years old, teaching fiddle lessons at my home studio for the past 10 years. Together with my Father and Sister, I started the first ever fiddle group in Sevier County, which had over 30 students. The focus of the group was to spread the love of music throughout the children, and help them gain self confidence through performances.
