About Me

I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF PLAYING 1ST OBOE ON HUNDREDS OF MOVIES, INCLUDING: {Disclaimer: Played 2nd on "Titanic" to Barbara Northcutt's beautiful oboe playing and 2nd on "Cats and Dogs" to Phil Alying's lovely oboe playing that flashes up on here. Thanks guys for the ride!!]


Some of the most memorable moments I have had in my musical life are playing on the "Tonight Show" with Neil Diamond, playing the oboe and English Horn solos on Dave Grusin's score to "Mulholland Falls", playing solos on any of Alan Silvestri's scores, performing on the Grammys with Alicia Keys, and playing at the Oscars. I have recorded for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Josh Groban, Harry Connick Jr., and others.

Lately, I just love working with up-and-coming composers, and hopefully having them want to write for my instrument on their future projects!
SPECIAL THANKS TO DENNIS SANDS, BOBBY FERNADEZ, TIM BOYLE, AND NOW DAMON TEDESCO AND THEIR AMAZING GIFTS!! I COULD NAME SO MANY OTHERS!!
