Biography

As a passionate saxophonist and proud US Marine Corps veteran, I’ve dedicated my life to both music and service to my country. After being honorably discharged, I found solace and purpose in the soulful melodies of my saxophone.

My musical journey began at a young age, but it wasn’t until my military service that I truly understood the power of music to heal and inspire. Drawing from my experiences, I infuse my performances with emotion and depth, connecting with audiences on a profound level.

Serving in the USMC taught me the values of discipline, resilience, and sacrifice. Though my journey has been marked by challenges, I wear my disability with pride, a reminder of the strength and courage I carry within.
Through my music, I aim to uplift others, spreading joy and hope wherever I perform. Whether on stage or in the community, I strive to make a positive impact, honoring both my musical talents and my military service.

My dedication to music and service has been recognized through various awards and honors, but the true reward lies in the connections forged and the lives touched through my performances.

Join me on this journey of melody and meaning as we celebrate the beauty of music and the resilience of the human spirit.
