About

He has performed across the US and Europe, in China, the UK and Argentina, and as soloist with the Memphis Symphony, the Sarasota Orchestra, and the Orquesta Filarmónica de Honduras, among others. He studied with Carol Ourada in Wheaton and Hans Jorgen Jensen at Northwestern University before taking his Masters from the Cleveland Institute of Music with Stephen Geber.
