    <about><![CDATA[I am a graduate of SUNY Fredonia, currently living in Dunkirk, New York. I earned two masters degrees: one in Music Composition, studying with Dr. Rob Deemer and another in Performance, studying classical guitar with Dr. Evan Drummond. <br/><br/>I have recently accepted a position as adjunct professor of Music Theory at SUNY Fredonia and I hope to start my own studio for teaching guitar. <br/><br/>I go to as many shows as I can and I am a huge fan of indie rock. I read as much as I can, which, admittedly, is not as much as I would like to. Typically I will be reading at least 2 books at once, one being fiction and the other non-fiction usually of a historical or musical topic. ]]></about>
