About me:
I am a professional violist in the Washington, DC area. I am a member of the US Army Band, an active freelancer and teacher, and an advocate of the arts, new music, and new concert settings.
In 2019, I assisted Joe Raffa and Edwin Stevens as the composer of the score of their upcoming feature-length film Dark Harbor. The film has won several awards and nominations including awards at LAIFF, Bay Film Festival, WorldFest Houston. See the IMDB page here: Dark Harbor IMBD. This film is available on Amazon and other streaming sources.
In 2018 I worked with Zackary Wilcox and Edwin Stevens on their film Hunting Lands. I acted as music advisor for the film and composed incidental music and credits music. Hunting Lands won several awards including Best Film at the Alexandria Film Festival (2018), Audience Winner at Hell's Half Mile Film and Music Festival (2018), Best Cinematography and Best Director at the Hoboken International Film Festival (2018), and Best Feature Film and Best Screenplay at the Idyllwild International Film Festival of Cinema (2018). This film is available on Amazon, Vudu, and other streaming sources.
I am an active performing musician in the Washington DC area. I served as a violist with the US Army Strings for nearly 10 year before moving into an administrative role. In the DC metro area, I perform regularly as a substitute violist with the local major symphonies and organizations. I maintain a private studio of wonderful and energetic young students. I hold undergraduate degrees from the Eastman School of Music, graduate degrees from the Pennsylvania State University, and a Doctor of Music from the University of Maryland.
