My Story
When I try to sum up what makes me who I am as a musician and a teacher, I always come back to the people I was fortunate enough to have around me. The musicians, teachers, and friends I learned from, played with, and shared time with shaped every part of my musical life.
Thankfully, music allows me to share those experiences with others. Through the videos, photos, and recordings ahead, I’m able to show what a life in music can look like - not just mine, but the many different paths and voices I’ve been lucky enough to encounter along the way.
I’m proud to share these experiences and the relationships behind them with you. They’re what shaped me into the teacher and person I am today.
Thank you for being here.
I hope you enjoy the journey.
