Ruby was born to Italian parents who immigrated to the United States in the 1970s. They brought with them their soon to be born daughter, love for classical music, and the craft of constructing high quality violins.
Ruby has spent much of the last 20 years touring both North America and Europe in a number of Orchestras, playing lead chair for several. More recently, she has started to teach kids and young adults both the fiddle and violin, with interest in spreading the love for both bluegrass and classical music.
