Stuart grew up in Broad Run Farms in Sterling, VA and attended Ferrum College and East Tennessee State University. He had a successful career in software engineering, most recently as a Software Test Engineer for IBM.
Stuart was very active in the local music scene, playing under the name of Third and Monroe with Susan Villella and serving on the music committee for the Herndon Festival. He played regularly at open mic nights at Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern and The Old Brogue.
Stuart’s passion was live music, and in addition to playing himself, he was a great fan and friend of many area musicians.
Stuart, his humility, and his passion for music and others, will be missed.
