I started out playing piano in church and singing 3-part harmonies with my sisters. When I was about 12 years old, I was introduced to jazz and it changed my life. I joined the Marine Corps as a 5524 musician and served for two enlistments, first in Quantico and then in San Diego. During that time of service, I learned to play in a variety of musical styles including orchestral, jazz, funk, salsa, rock, pop, country, and a whole lot of military marches on bass drum and cymbals. I can play solo piano, piano with vocals, or with a group of local professionals. Let me know what size ensemble works best for you. I have two sisters who sing lead and harmonies; the three of us together can sing and improvise 3-part harmonies.

Right now I'm a social worker in the Humboldt area. I am a father of two twin baby girls. I am passionate about music education as well, and I am open to teaching lessons online or in the local area.
