I have been teaching guitar, electric bass, and woodwinds for over 30 years. I have a Bachelor of Arts from Northeastern Illinois University. I have performed all over the Chicago area in a variety of Rock, Americana, Country, Folk, Blues, and Celtic ensembles. I write original songs and compose music for dance and film.

Teaches private students of all ages "The 2 best parts of teaching music are the journey and the performance. It's one of the best feelings in the world to conduct a great band at a performance and then think back to all the work that everyone put into get to that point. That journey is filled with successes and struggles that are constantly being worked out in order to reach our goals. There is never a dull day in the band world."

I am a lifelong musician who has a passion for teaching. I enjoy helping budding musicians find their voice and inspriation through their gift! I am a full time musician that shares the message of love, positivity, and marriage as I record original music and perform with my wife as RnB duo ISH. I have been fortunate enough to tour the country as a musician and I look forward to sharing that love of music with eager minds! I am a proud graduate of Wabash College with a Bachelor's Degree in music, with minors in French and Multicultural Studies. I truly believe in the benefits of an arts-infused education and how it promotes discipline, creativity, and expression.
Instruments:
Recently returned from Japan, I served as Co-Principal Clarinetist of the Hyogo Performing Arts Center Orchestra since 2011. With 3 nationwide tours, I performed all over Japan, appearing regularly on the nationally televised program "Daimei no Nai Ongakukai" televised nationally. In 2010 I earned my Master of Music degree at the University of Southern California, studying with master teacher Yehuda Gilad. Orginally from Orland Park, I studied with my childhood idols in the Chicago Symphony. First with Larry Combs (former Principal Clarinet 1975-2007) at DePaul University (BM 2007). Later, I was accepted into the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the training orchestra of the Chicago Symphony. There I had the chance to work closely with John Bruce Yeh (Assistant Principal Clarinet 1979-present) and a variety of conductors who worked with the Chicago Symphony.
Instruments:
I received a Bachelor of Music degree in Clarinet Performance and a Performance Certificate in 2015 from DePauw University, where I performed frequently as a soloist and chamber musician and held principal positions in both the University Band and Symphony Orchestra. I have toured to England, Germany, and Austria with the DePauw Chamber Symphony and have performed in venues as intimate as assisted living facilities in Putnam County, IN and as grandiose as the Musikverein in Vienna. Outside of school, I have taught clarinet lessons in the Chicago suburbs for six years and held principal positions in the Classical Symphony Orchestra of Chicago and the Wheaton Municipal Band. In addition to these ensembles, I perform as a freelance soloist and chamber musician in the Chicagoland area and with the wedding/reception group Con Amore, for whom I maintain all online presence and arrange pop songs and light classical pieces. This fall, I will begin my graduate studies in Clarinet Performance at DePaul University.
