With a bachelors degree in jazz performance, I am a passionate and creative musician who can write, arrange, educate, perform, and produce engaging and compelling performances and studio recordings for audiences of various styles of music. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Jazz Studies(Performance) at Temple University while also band leading my recently debuted group MODE 7, playing saxophone for Philadelphia based psychedelic rock band Riko and Whaler Collective, and working as a sideman for other various acts around Philadelphia, New Jersey, and NYC areas. Outside of performing, I also have a strong background as a producer, audio engineer, live sound engineer, arranger, and copyist, working with various musicians and venues around the Philadelphia area to bring their music and performances to life for their audience's enjoyment. I am fluent in Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Sibelius. I am always eager to learn new techniques and tools, and to collaborate with other professionals in my field. I am motivated by the challenge of putting on a great show at every opportunity that I am able and by the satisfaction of seeing crowds enjoying the music I put on stage with the other fantastic musicians around me.
