My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:
Personally, I view rules as guidelines, and laws as rules. Easily amused, I find potential for humor almost everywhere. I'm creative, spiritual, and a good listener; I'm athletic and enjoy the outdoors; I'm intrigued by foreign languages and cultures; I enjoy good food, whether fine red wines, raw honey, rich desserts, or artisanal beers. I've experienced many adventures, having lived and traveled in Europe, Mexico, and mid-northern North America. I'm a professional violinist, beginning (though learning) jazz improviser, and rock and pop collaborator - I've performed with most orchestras in and around Philadelphia; I help talented, deserving musicians via my own company, exploring the business side of music; I'm a developing writer, both in content and copy, exploring ethnic and cultural identity via language, ancestry, and immigration.
My first concert / My dream concert:
Tom Waits, Sting, Yo Yo Ma, Pearl Jam, Lila Downs, Ween, Mark O'Connor, Edgar Meyer, Andrew Bird

I secretly want to be:
A cartoon voiceover artist, like Mel Blanc, or a photojournalist.
I want to be with someone who wants to be:

If I won the lottery and quit my job, I would:
Travel globally for a year or two on a motorcycle and play music in the squares of every country's major cities, making a documentary about it.

I'm Superfresh
