I’m a musician who specializes in audio production and brass from Boston Metro-South

I studied Modern American Music at the Longy School of Music while performing in ensembles at Brandeis, UMass Lowell, Boston University, Merrimack College, and Harvard University. I have performed either solo or as a group at T.D. Garden, Symphony Hall, Harvard Sanders Theatre, Aganis Arena, Tsongas Arena, Scullers Jazz Club, Ryles, and many more. My discography includes jazz, rock, classical, avant garde, alternative rock, R&B, and Salsa. In addition to performing on albums and live for audiences of 200 people and more, I am a studio producer and audio engineer. I have worked in live sound since I was in high school running backline and recording for major national acts like Tower of Power and Dave Brubeck.

I also teach music so if you want to learn audio production or brass instruments, let me know!
