About Me

I am a saxophone musician and a new resident of Champaign, IL, having moved from Miami, FL. I sometimes play instruments like clarinet, flute, guitar, bass, or piano. I also do composing, arranging, and production-y things.
My EP Fairytale Thankyou, featuring my sister in law Lindley Cameron, is now for sale on all the internet supershops! Also released to the public is the new Amy Pardo Quartet CD - Big Red Tree, and the new Peter J. Yanowitch CD - Harmoniam, featuring NY trumpet player Ron Horton . I have been involved with Miami-based groups including the Raffa and Rainer Band, Jesse Jackson, the Stefanie Smith Band, the South Nine Ensemble, and Tazer Room.
I received my bachelors in Studio Music and Jazz and my masters in Studio Jazz Writing at the University of Miami. I am happy to have met many great people and musicians there.
