Father, husband, and research scientist living near Waterloo, Michigan. My wonderful wife is a reference librarian and an accomplished player of concertina, box, piano and harp.

I started playing ITM on finger-style guitar, but wanted to be able to play melody, so learned and now mostly play play tenor banjo and mandolin.

We live in the boonies and don't have TV or even very good Internet, so we have a lot of time for playing, and that we do!

Happy playing to you.
