music:
I have been living in the Portland-Metro area since 2005 and performing, teaching and composing in the Northwest since. My 20+ years in music have given me knowledge that I've shared with students young and old since 1998.
I began teaching in 1998 as a studio instructor in Jackson, MS. Throughout my college "internment" I taught various percussion groups from Marion Military Institute to my consistent 3-year work with the Montevallo Troubadour Marching Band and Winter Ensemble as they have performed my arrangements and received excellent ratings in competitions throughout Alabama. In late 2005 I returned to my home in the Northwestern U.S. and am now teaching privately and working as a freelance percussionist.
design:
I have been working as a designer on the World Wide Web, print and graphic design since 2006. In web formats I have nearly 10 years experience from the creation and maintenance of my own web sites and in 2006 I completed my first commercial site. The web gives us the power to express ourselves across the globe and access to more people and unmatched marketing opportunities.
shop:
It seems we can't escape the shopping experience. This area is mostly for my students and their percussion needs, but you are most welcome to browse as it may help you in your search for the "right" equipment/materials. If you need to pay for lessons please use the Paypal Widget on the right side of this page. It will notify me of your purchase and you will have a receipt for your records.
