---Performer for Hire---

Anything is possible with a versatile musician and his friends!

You can hire me (or a small ensemble) to perform at your small or formal occasion. I am available to perform as a soloist on saxophone, flute, and clarinet. I can perform solo classical repertoire to add a unique musical experience to your social engagement or open an event with the Star Spangled Banner. If needed, I frequently work with other musicians and can perform with a duo or trio, or sometimes more. Currently I gig with the East End Vipers. The East End Vipers is a zydeco style group that plays jazz, standards, and Motown music.

Pit Orchestra Reed Books are My Specialty

Are you in need of a pit musician for your musical that can handle a difficult reed book? Please contact me. I have any saxophone, clarinet, or flute/piccolo you would need covered. I have performed standards like How to Succeed in Business and Grease to modern productions like Jason Robert Brown's Parade and Spamalot. I am available for a tech week and performances. More than that would need to be discussed.

Small Ensembles

Band Director

Rehearsing the JAMBO Band at Kutztown University's exquisite facility
I have many years experience directing all sorts of ensembles. I have worked with elementary and middle school bands in my position at Drums Elementary/Middle School. Though, I also have experience working with large honor bands, jazz bands, high school bands, marching bands, and coaching small ensembles. Take a look at my "Musicianship" page to see me conducting various ensembles.

The photo to the left was taken in April 2015 where I rehearsed and led a group of Scout musicians from Pennsylvania and New Jersey at JAMBO 2015, held at Kutztown University. We prepared processional, recessional, and artistic pieces for the opening ceremonies of JAMBO!
