I majored in music performance at the University of Michigan from 1996-2000 studying with Ramon Parcels and Charles Daval. I have since studied with Jim Vassallo at the University of Houston and several other freelance teachers in the Detroit and Houston areas. As a student, I played in the top wind ensembles and orchestras at both U of M and UH.

My performance experience has mostly been freelance and private events, but I have performed in several orchestras and wind ensembles across the US and Japan. I was a full-time private teacher from 2002-2007 teaching trumpet to 5th-12th graders.

I am a former cast member of the first US tour and Broadway cast of Blast! and was a member from 2000-2001. Prior to that I was a member of The Cavaliers drum & bugle corps for 4 seasons, aging out in 1998.

I am currently a full time visual designer and artist working on marching band drill design and web design. I also do a little bit of music arranging from time to time as well as the occasional church gig. In the fall seasons I travel to Japan to perform with the Aimachi marching band from Nagoya.
