I'm sick of my bio. It's always the same thing - where I went to school, where I've performed, where I work, blah blah blah. So here are some other things about me: I'm from a very small town in Pennsylvania and am half Pennsylvania Dutch. When I was a kid, I was so pigeon-toed that I had to wear leg braces like the ones Forrest had to wear in Forrest Gump. I never wore teeth braces, though. I love dogs, but don't trust cats. My dad played minor league baseball, which is probably why I love baseball so much (go Mets!).

I have weaknesses for Janacek operas, 19th-century piano music, pasta (my number one comfort food), Bread, David Wright, really bad horror movies, REALLY bad reality TV (I love you, Brett Michaels), Keith Moon, Wayne Coyne, and expensive shoes.

I laugh out loud at John Irving novels, and cry whenever there's one of those ASPCA commercials on where there are very sad-looking animals that need to be adopted. Actually, I cry at anything that's even the least bit sentimental. I almost quit the violin - once in the sixth grade and once when I went to grad school. But thanks to Alarm Will Sound, I can't imagine not playing the violin anymore. I'm gonna cry... somebody make me some spaghetti.
