How did you get started in music:
I began as a percussionist in my 4th grade band and learned to read music on percussion instruments and played in the school concert bands throughout elementary middle school. I picked up guitar around age 11 and then played in the school orchestra and in the Jazz ensembles throughout middle and high school. I was very much influenced by my 6th grade band teacher.

Favorite tools for the trade:
In addition to always having a Jazz guitar, a nylon string guitar, and a steel string guitar so I am prepared for any gig, I never leave the house anymore without extra extension cords… My Acoustic Image amplifier and Flite Sound custom speaker cabinet are pretty important too.

What quality about music makes it all worth it:
Mainly imrpovising and working on creative arrangements, also interacting with other musicians and expressing myself and finding voice through composition and improvisation.
