Keyboards became an intricate part of my life with my first piano lesson at age four. Among my many teachers, my grandmother an already refined pianist, significantly contributed the most to my musical development. She instructed me in the art of playing by ear and encouraged my desire to express musically.

In 1998 I turned professional in Blacksburg, VA. Under the band name ‘Good Life’ we recorded and produced an original self titled CD.

I earned a ‘Marshall University Jazz Scholarship' and as a pianist for my college jazz ensemble I enjoyed playing concerts and festivals. Performing at the Clay Center opening in Charleston, SC and receiving an invitation from Notre Dame Jazz Festival remains meaningful to me.

My greatest musical strength is spontaneous improvisation. Whether jamming on cover tunes or my own songs I feel centered when locking into the right groove and expanding upon it. When the music is progressive, the experience is without limits.
