I am a member of the Palmetto Chapter in South Carolina. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.M. in Composition, but during my studies, got to talking with my parents' piano tech and realized that this industry is the perfect combination of my interests: music, physics, working with my hands, and meeting and connecting with new people. I still have a lot to learn, but am looking forward to making my first stab at the tuning exam at the rescheduled conference in 2021.
