I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

This MySpace is about the fun side of my life. Most of my friends know me as either a performer or retailer of trumpets. I have played trumpet for 44 years and I figured someone might find it interesting. I'm a freelance trumpet player in San Diego County near the Mexican border on the West Coast. I've been married for 11 years and have two beautiful children. I also run a website called Horntrader.com . ( http://www.horntrader.com/about.htm ) Founded in 1998, HornTrader.com was the first of its kind and is still the best site to find quality horns, related gear, and information for the discerning trumpeter. Sorry about the plug but my kiddies need new shoes..............Although most of my work comes from musical theatre ( bus & Truck shows ) I am a busy freelancer in the So Cal area. I am involved with such diverse groups as San Diego Symphony, San Diego Chamber Orchestra, Broadway San Diego, SD Opera, The Screamin' Primas, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Orchestra De Baja California, I even sub out at Del Mar Race Track as the Bugler!!!!..............I just recorded a jingle for Taco Bell. It played during the Super Bowl. Must be my proximity to the border (LOL).

Add to My Profile | More VideosTaco Bell Super Bowl Commercial Ad introduces its new Fiesta Platter with a Mexican mariachi band, wearing sombreros and playing guitars. They encourage the office workers to take a break before the meeting and enjoy the Fiesta Platter.My gigs sometimes require me to travel if my family will allow it. Last year I went to Cabo San Lucas, Boise Idaho, and Santa Barabra Calif.. My ideal gig would be to go somewhere exotic and take the family. I have a jazz Gig at Pismo Beach soon. It's not that exotic but I am taking the whole family.
