Fabio is usually found working at his office when he is not musically engaged; or if time and opportunity permit, dropping a line in some exotic fishing hole with family and friends.

She supports her habit by teaching strings to school children in the Metro Augusta Area and playing horn with the Augusta Symphony. In her spare time she enjoys ballroom dancing.
