About me

Practicing, rehearsing, performing, and teaching – four things you can almost always find me doing. I am passionate percussionist, composer, and teacher with years of experience in many musical styles including jazz, percussion chamber music, orchestral music, improvisation, and Afro-diasporic music.

As a percussionist, I strongly believe in being a total percussionist. This means that I value being well-rounded in the multi-faceted world of percussion including: mallet/keyboard percussion, drum-set, orchestral percussion, hand drums, steel pan, and the other instruments that have yet to be invented.  By becoming technically proficient in all of these areas, I have a fundamental understanding of the inner-workings of many kinds of music. This is an exciting place for me to be which I have spent many years working towards and am diligently navigating

I am currently the principal percussionist of Longmont Symphony Orchestra and and the percussionist for the Plein Air Sound Collective.
