I first played with the Palisades Symphony while in 11th grade at Palisades High School and have remained a part of the orchestra ever since—except for the three years I attended San Francisco State University (which had three different names during my time there). Even then, I played in the university’s second orchestra, as I missed performing with the Palisades Symphony.

During the 1980s, I also played with several community ensembles, including The Mandolin Orchestra, the Brentwood Synagogue Orchestra, the Doctors Symphony, and the Santa Monica College Emeritus Band.

I have served as Treasurer of the Palisades Symphony since the 1980s.
