About Me

I'm a professional percussionist born raised originally in the Dominican Republic and that has lived and been just about everywhere. Now I call Georgia my "home" because this is where I have lived for the past 12 almost 13 years of my life. I teach in the school system of Houston County, GA and co-lead the Instrumental Music Department at Middle Georgia College since 1998. I have also taught Music at Mercer University, Georgia College and State University and Wesleyan College and worked closely with other Music institutions across Georgia and the United States. I have an extensive Music Performance career and had the great opportunuty to play with and for many many leading musicians and performer from around the world. I've been fortunate to also have an internacional recording career with ARC Music International LTD, that has allowed me to extend myself and my music to many listeners around the globe in addition to given me the opportunity to record for other cutting edge recording artists in just about all music genres. Music has been extremely good to me and has been the #1 vehicle for me to meet so many people and develop many long term frienships, relationships and associations. Everyday is fun because I always get to do what love and make a good living at it !!
