About Me

Originally from from Greenville, CA I spent many years living and playing in Humboldt County, CA. I have had the priviledge to share the stage with Clark Terry, Doug Harmmon and The Avant Gardeners among others. I graduated in 2005 from Humboldt State University with a degree in music and 2006 with a teaching credential. I am a member of The Melissa Ruth Trio and gig throughout the Pacific Northwest as a duo with Melissa and as a trio with Melissa and Rick DeVol. I currently live in Eugene OR with my fabulous and talented wife and our annoying little dog.
