I am a composer of new works for acoustic and electric ensembles combining elements of jazz, contemporary classical music, experimentalism, popular music, R&B, and improvisation. I am also an adept vocalist and improvisor on trumpet, piano, and jazz organ. I currently work as producer, studio engineer, arranger and transcriber, and educator. Recent projects include works for studio orchestra & jazz quartet, sinfonietta, pop chamber ensemble, New Orleans brass band, Jazz Big Band, and upcoming full-length solo album (summer 2025).
