I like playing music in my spare time: I play banjo, guitar, mandolin, bass, and other mostly acoustic instruments.  I also enjoy writing songs.  

I played with the indie bands Horse in the Sea and Nelken in Chicago, and the bluegrass band The Jersey Sprawl in Princeton. To check out some of my own songs, you can go here
