Biography

Versatile trombonist and entertainer who has performed with multiple ensembles in a variety of musical styles.

I am currently performing on the first national tour of TOOTSIE The Musical, which has recently been renewed for a second season. Prior to the pandemic, I completed a four-month contract with Princess Cruises as a member of the all-female Ruby Princess house band. From 2012 - 2017 I toured with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus band, visiting 40 US cities and performing an average of 400 shows per year.

Other recent activities include local performances in Orlando-area pit orchestras and theatres; entertaining guests at Busch Gardens Williamsburg as a trombonist and as a “scarer” in a Howl-O-Scream haunted house; and performing as a member of orchestras and wind ensembles across the United States.

I am more than just a trombonist; over the years, I have made professional contributions to a wide variety of music industry businesses. As a manager with a national music retail chain, I helped aspiring musicians find their voices. I made major organizational and communications advancements as Director of Sales with B.A.C. Music, a company known for its custom trombones and sponsorship of major celebrity artists like Bruno Mars and Reel Big Fish. My unique position within the music industry has allowed me to form personal and professional connections with music educators, retailers, craftsmen, and professionals around the world.
