About Me
Before beginning his legal career, Noah worked for over a decade as a professional classical musician, performing extensively with symphonies and chamber ensembles throughout the region. Indeed, Noah can still be seen as the Associate Principle Viola of the Winston-Salem Symphony and member of the Railyard String Quartet. Outside of the office and off the stage, Noah relishes life as a husband and father, and can often be found on a disc golf course or hiking one of Greensboro’s many watershed trails.
