I love playing music and I love sharing my passion with others. I hold a Master's of Music in Studio Music and Jazz Trombone Performance from the University of Miami and a Bachelor's of Music from the University of North Texas in Jazz Trombone Performance. I have toured the U.S., Canada, and Japan with the World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra and performed around the world working for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and Celebrity Cruise Lines.
I love imparting my passion for music to others and seeing them grow and make connections. Music is an endless font and I love seeing my students tap into the joy it can bring.
