violinist / astrologer / geek

MUSIC

Classically trained on the violin with master instructor Serban Rusu (formerly an assistant to the great Josef Gingold) and with jazz violinist Mads Tolling, I have toured and recorded with numerous artists (including Noe Venable and Emily Bezar among many others) spanning a range of musical styles. I continue to perform and record in the San Francisco area.

I work as a music analyst for Pandora internet radio and write instrumental electronic pop music under a pseudonym.

ASTROLOGY

My research on specialized astrological topics (including what may be the most extensive research on the asteroid Pallas publicly available):
The Interpretation of Pallas in Astrology
Political Ideology and Astrology

I provide astrological readings to clients in the San Francisco area or on Skype.
