Biography

I currently reside in downtown Los Angeles, CA

Prior to the pandemic, I was a full time performer and educator in Austin, Texas.

I relocated to Austin in 2017 after performing nationally with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus as one of the two final trumpet players in the circus band, playing the final show after 146 years of continuous operation. I have also performed as lead and solo trumpet on Royal Caribbean International cruise ships.

Since 2021 I have quit freelancing to focus on my own artistic and musical interests.

I’m looking forward to producing new music using trumpet in creative, out of the box ways in genres that have historically been inaccessible to the instrument.
