About Me
As a student of the trumpet for over 20 years, I've performed and taught music in a variety of settings both in the US and overseas and have been a part of multiple ensembles including Ensemble Du Monde, The Dream Unfinished and my own brass quintet Parallel Brass to name a few. I am currently both a performer and a music educator. It has been immensely fulfilling to pass along my love of music to youth who might not have otherwise had the opportunity to learn it. My life has been inextricably linked with music since the age of 13 and I am excited to see where this journey will continue to lead.
