 FAVORITE THING ABOUT PLAYING IN THE CSO: I’m so proud to be part of a world-class orchestra. The musicians of the CSO have a lot of respect for each other and it’s exciting to be in an orchestra that is continuing to strive for excellence.

 FAVORITE THING ABOUT CINCINNATI: Having four seasons (yes, including winter!) and being driving distance to my family (in Pittsburgh).

 HOBBY/PASTIME : It depends on where I am — I love to scuba dive, hike in the mountains and I spend a lot of time running and playing with my big black lab, Snoopy!
