He has lived and worked across West Michigan working as a manufacturing engineer for Michigan Automotive Compressors, Herman Miller, Behr, and Dana/Mahle; as a Realtor with Greenridge Realty; and is now pursuing a Web Design Degree from Muskegon Community College.

A week ago today the Mona Shores Fiddlers performed at the 2018 Michigan Irish Music Fest. Once again it was a privilege and honor to perform at such an amazing fest with so many talented musicians and a fest that does so much for our community. Thank you to all the volunteers that make the MIMF a reality and all the MSO parents that make the Fiddle program possible.
We are looking forward to our own 17th Annual Fiddle Fest on November 10th, 2018. Special guests include Grand Haven High School Orchestra’s Gotak, North Muskegon Orchestra’s Fiddle players, and very special guests Uneven Ground!
