Who Am I?
I am a professional musician.
And music has afforded me the opportunity to travel the entire world over. I have been able to see places I never would have thought possible.
Music is my Passport!
Never in a million years did I think I’d be able to see so many incredible places, meet so many amazing people, and play so many awesome gigs!
From Rapa Nui to the Seychelles, from Belize to Australia, from Alaska to Thailand, music has led me around the world, and I am so very grateful!
Without my skill as a musician, my musical passport, I never would have been able to do any of it!
Oh, the places you’ll play…
From jazz clubs in Hong Kong, to bars in Brazil. From sketchy Texas saloons to invite-only cocktail parties in NYC. From music festivals to basement jams to cruise ships. I never would have dreamed of all the places I’ve played!
It has definitely been a wild ride! Every gig has something to offer, and provides a new way to learn and grow.
I am so grateful to be on this lifelong musical journey!
I am so grateful that this is my job!
I graduated from NYU with a Bachelors in Clarinet Performance. But I learned the most on the road; touring, jamming, getting thrown into musical situations I had no business being in. I had to learn my doubles (saxes, clarinets, flutes), I had to learn how to improv in different genres, I had to learn how to sight read incredibly difficult charts. I learned the hard way. I took my battered ego to the practice room and learned the lessons.
It wasn’t easy at first. Despite the great education I got at school, it did not prepare me for the real world. But I learned.
You don’t have to go through all that pain and embarrassment. I can teach you the lessons I learned so you don’t have to learn them the hard way. I have made a career for myself in music, and you can too! I have coached so many students into undergraduate programs and beyond. It takes work, but it is much easier with a coach. It makes a world of difference to have someone walk you around the potholes, warn you of the sharp curves ahead, tell you when you should speed up or slow down. I learned all these lessons the hard way, but you don’t have to.
You get dedicated, personalized, one-on-one music coaching.
That’s it. No catch. No crazy contracts to sign. No generic video courses. No long term commitment.
Just me and exclusive access to my years of experience and wealth of knowledge.
If you (or your child) wants to learn music, wants to play at a high level, and perhaps even wants to pursue a career in music, I can help.
If you want a career like I have had, I can help you get there.

Let’s Talk!
Still not sure if this is right for you? No problem. Send me an email and let’s talk anyway. If I am not a good fit for you, no harm no foul. And perhaps I can offer you some different resources that could help. I want to help you (or your child) achieve your musical goals, whether you want to study with me or not. I am admittedly a terrible salesperson, so I’m not going to pressure you, up-sell you, or guilt you into studying with me. That’s not my intention. After doing so many amazing things in my career, I just want to pass on my knowledge and help the next generation of musicians!
So, send me an email. You have literally nothing to lose and everything to gain!
