Introduction
Primarily a classical player, I perform regularly with the Northern Symphonic Winds (a wind ensemble consisting of Crane School of Music professors, local professionals and Crane students). I have appeared as a soloist with NSW as well as in a featured trio. Additionally, I have performed on occasion with the Orchestra of Northern New York, play for local school musical productions, and served as first trumpet for Community Performance Series productions for 3 summers. I also do church services, weddings, choral festivals (including The Northern Choral Society and the Gregg Smith Singers) and brass quintet work.
