Jazz washes away the dust of every day life

About Me

I am a jazz tenor saxophone player from Kenosha, Wisconsin. I also play flute, clarinet, piano, and bass and currently study with Curt Hanrahan. I will be attending the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee on a full ride scholarship to continue my studies with Curt Hanrahan, majoring in jazz studies and multiple woodwind performance.
