Who I'm playing with:
Horn, Legacy Brass Quintet
4th horn for New Life Symphony Orchestra
Assistant horn for Dallas Civic Winds Ensemble

I have experience with symphony orchestras (professional and community) as well as performing with various brass ensembles, wind quintets, chamber wind ensembles, and horn quartets/quintets. However, I feel equally comfortable doing work for recording sessions. My passion is performance, and my mission is to bring excellence to any and every musical environment.  

I am also passionate about teaching and cultivating skills in young musicians! I have taught middle and high school students since 2006. Primarily my teaching includes private lessons, but I also conduct master classes, work as a marching band technician, tutor & lecture at the university level, and provide instruction for instruments other than the horn.
