About Me

Those of you that know me - you know me. For those of you who don't...I am a musician in Miami, FL. I play the trombone and the conch shells with the Spam Allstars and Suenalo Sound System. I play the sousaphone with various people including Jesse Jackson. You can also catch me with the Keyrats, the South Nine Ensemble, the South Florida Jazz Orchestra, the UM Concert Jazz Band and at J.A.M. @ Transit on some mondays. I love playing all kinds of music and am always interested in playing new stuff.
