I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Chicago. I hold a degree in Music Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a Masters of Music Performance from Carnegie Mellon University. Additionally, I had the opportunity to study with Nikśa Bobetko, Principal Bassist of the Zagreb Philharmonic, at the University of Zagreb's Academy of Music on a full scholarship.

My passion for music and learning serves as the foundation for my creative career. I am driven by a deep interest in creative storytelling across various mediums. As a producer, I specialize in storytelling through video and podcasting. I believe that life is comprised of the stories we hold, and I strive to continuously improve my storytelling abilities and actively listen to those around me.

Musically, following school I won a position with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago performing under many well known conductors and rotating into the principal chair of the bass section. Shortly after moving to Chicago I won the audition for the Principal chair of the Illinois Symphony orchestra under Maestro Ken Lam. I’ve performed with many groups throughout the midwest area including the New Philharmonic, Fort Wayne Symphony, and most recently became a full member of the Chicago Philharmonic Bass section.

Outside of the concert hall you can find me with various pop, rock, and jazz groups in Chicago as well as in the house band for Salvation and Deliverance Ministries Worship band.

Beyond my creative pursuits, I am an avid learner who enjoys exploring nature and following my curiosities.
