My performance experience includes everything from symphonies to Punk Rock bands. I am capable with almost any style or genre, and have no problem playing by ear or reading charts. My 25 years of experience has taken me around the world, and taught me to play with anyone, in any setting. I can do anything from quiet church gigs, to full-on stadium volume, its all the same to me. I also have extensive experience in Directing, Music Education, and Music Business. I have various music management experience, office skills, good sense of humor, easy to work with, and most of all: I truly love music.
