BIOGRAPHY
A NATIVE OF GEORGIA, I HAVE LIVED IN THE ATLANTA AREA FOR THE PAST TWELVE YEARS. I LIVE IN EAST LAKE WITH MY WIFE, TWO CATS (SADIE AND TUXIE), AND DOG (BARNABY). MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LARGE PART OF MY LIFE, AND SHARING IT WITH OTHERS HAS BEEN MY PASSION FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. WHETHER THAT SHARED EXPERIENCE HAPPENS ONE ON ONE IN A PRIVATE LESSON, ACCOMPANYING A SOLOIST, PLAYING FOR A PRIVATE EVENT, OR WORKING WITH A LARGE CHOIR OR CAST, THE FEELING IS ALWAYS THE SAME. THE JOY OF WORKING TOGETHER TOWARDS SOMETHING AS GREAT AS MUSIC AND LARGER THAN ANYTHING WE COULD DO BY OURSELVES IS SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, AND ONE THAT I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO DO AS LONG AS I LIVE.
