ABOUT

"I don't trust a horn that has all of its lacquer." - me

I'm primarily almost a saxophone player. I'm also almost a guitarist, almost a mandolinististist, almost a vocalist and almost a songwriter.

I started playing sax in 4th grade and did so through HS and one year of college. I then put down the horn for about a decade, picking it back up around 2013 when I moved to SoIL. I've been in bar/winery bands pretty much since with most of my playing being either improvisation or developed from something I'd improvised.

I scratch and clamor for every opportunity to play music. I'd love for it to become a primary source of income, but that's not in the cards for now, but never say never, right? I think that I do have pretty decent tone to make up for my lack of current mechanical ability.

Be well and rock out.
