ABOUT ME:
My name is David, and I play the mandolin. I play in multiple award-winning bluegrass bands across the world including Mile Twelve, Cup O’Joe, and The Foreign Landers, and I curate the weekly mandolin video series #mandolinmondays hosted by the Mandolin Cafe. But most of all, I love sharing my love of the mandolin with others. I teach private mandolin Zoom lessons, run an online mandolin learning community on Patreon, and I also make videos to share my thoughts, ideas, and general mandolin enthusiasm with other mando aficionados.
