about me 

I grew up in the Baltimore/Washington, DC area and studied classical tuba and jazz trombone from a young age. Attending respected programs and institutions such as Peabody Preparatory and Tanglewood Institute helped me grow as a musician. I moved to Chicago for college, where I studied at the Chicago College of Performing Arts and took private lessons with a principal member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Some of the highlights of my career include performing at Ravinia Festival, Harris Theater for Music and Dance, and the Auditorium Theater. 

​

After college, I pursued a normal job, but never lost sight of my love of music. After over a decade away from actively performing, I moved to southern California and became a full time musician. Reconnecting with my past, I dove back into brass music while also incorporating my deep appreciation for genres beyond classical and jazz, including hip hop, soul, and rock music. I also became interested in ambient and meditation music after learning how to play the hand drum. In total, I regularly practice and perform on well over a dozen different instruments. 

​

I currently compose and produce music for numerous high end music licensing websites, and write custom music for clients.
