I write music and play tuba. I have been a finalist in the WAMSO Young Artists Competition and a participant in the Jazz Ahead program at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Locally, I have performed with Phil Hey, Mick Sterling, St. Paul Civic Symphony, Pan-Metropolitan Trio, Tanya/Brenda and the Holsum Family Fiscal Planner, Pig's Eye Jass Band, Minnesota Dixie, and at venues such as The Dakota, Artists' Quarter, Kitty Cat Klub, and Acadia Cafe.
