Performing with passion and purpose.

In the spring of 2022, on my 38th birthday, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. It was a life-changing moment, but instead of letting it define me, I turned it into an opportunity to grow, adapt, and inspire others.

For over 14 years, I’ve built a career as a classical guitarist, performing at weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations. With over 500 perfect 5-star reviews and 13 consecutive Best of Weddings awards from The Knot, I’ve earned a reputation for creating unforgettable experiences. Despite my MS diagnosis, I remain an active performer, committed to delivering excellence to every audience. Symptoms forced me to completely relearn how I play guitar, which is why I almost never look at my hands or guitar while performing - a testament to adaptability and perseverance.

2 years after my diagnosis, I achieved a major milestone when Sessions from Rhode Island, an album I performed on, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Classical Crossover chart. I also completed my 1st marathon, training at 3 a.m. to avoid overheating caused by MS and crossing the finish line stronger than ever. These experiences shaped my approach to music and life, fueling my passion for inspiring others.

Through my keynote concerts, I combine live music, storytelling, and actionable takeaways to show audiences how to turn obstacles into opportunities. Whether I’m performing music that embodies resilience or sharing lessons from my journey, I leave audiences motivated to embrace creativity and growth. As the author of How to Book Gig$ as a Solo Musician, I’m also helping others achieve their own success in the music industry.
