About
Performing since high school, I have been fortunate to make music with many different groups of people and play a variety of musical styles. I have played everything from bluegrass, country, and rock to jazz, funk, r&b, pop, reggae, ska, metal, and more.Bands/Artists I've Performed with:
Rockstead, Elementree, Fast Travel, Cleocrt, The Ohms, Noah Wotherspoon, Harmony Haze, Nathan Gittleman, Matt Waters, Rick Kinmann, Scottie Anderson, Steve Brun, Aleatory, Floyd and the Walkman, Adam Elfers/Forest People, Dangerous Jim and the Slims, The Touchables, Misterman and the Mojo Band, Chuck Brisbin and the Tuna Project and more!I currently teach Saxophone, Flute, and Clarinet at the Toedtman School of Music in West Chester OH and The Boldery Academy of Music in Crittenden KY. I also teach virtually. My lessons focus on students needs and musical interests first and foremost. I teach students in school working towards competitions or performances as well as gigging adults working on all styles of music. I start with building a strong foundation in theory and technique directed towards the things you need to be able to or just want to play.I studied Jazz Studies (music performance) for 5 years and Audio Production for 2 years at NKU.My musical influences range from new artists such as Anderson Pakk, Benny Sings, Hiatus Kaiyote, Ben Wendel, Tigran Hamasyan, Kendrick Lamar, Vulfpeck, Roy Hargrove, Jacob Collier, Nate Wood, and more to older jazz greats like John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, etc.I spent a lot of time building communities when I was younger. I ran a Halo Reach Clan with @ 50 members from 2010 to 2011.I also ran a Minecraft server named MCHungerGamesRPG for 2 years (2014-2015). The server at one point had around 60-80 players daily peaking at around 115 and raised over $2,000 in donations to support it throughout its lifespan.I've been playing D&D since 2016 as a player and DM, and I've enjoyed creating my own worlds and stories for players to enjoy. I currently run paid sessions online through Crit Fails and Fairy Tales.Storytelling is my focus in all of my ventures!
