The Saxophone is my Religion

Currently 20 year old, I was born in Glen Cove, New York and raised in the Huntington Township, a local suburb. I was exposed to jazz among numerous other music styles at an early age by my father, an amateur drummer/musician. I began studying the saxophone at the age of eight and it has become my primary instrument. Since then I've studied: piano, clarinet, flute, numerous other instruments and dabbled in the use of the EWI.

I currently study with Dr. Felipe Salles, (saxophonist, composer, educator) and am fortunate to have him as my mentor.
