Education

I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a B.M. in Music Education. I later earned a Master's degree at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado majoring in Theory and Composition. I received a Special Citation for Outstanding Musicianship from the International Association for Jazz Education for one of my performances in the jazz ensembles at UNC. I currently compose music in my spare time and play guitar for my local church.

Influences

Some of my influences include Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorious, Peter Gabriel, Weather Report, Dave Holland, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, the Greyboy Allstars, Tower of Power, and the Funky Meters.
