Instruments: Trombone

The love of music is one of the strongest passions in my life. I have been preforming professionally with the U.S. Fleet Marine Corps Music program for almost ten years. Through that program I have been able to perform in sixteen different countries for presidents, vice presidents, kings, queens, and prime ministers. These amazing opportunities I have been able to experience performing trombone the last few years would never have been possible with out the fantastic music teachers I have had along the way.
