"I received my bachelor's and master's degrees in trombone performance from the University of Delaware and the University of Northern Colorado, respectively. During my undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware, I worked for the Community Music School, where I helped to teach music theory, and assisted with the Delaware Youth Wind Ensemble. During my master's degree, I was a member of the University of Northern Colorado's Graduate Brass Quintet. The quintet performed at various schools in the area and other performance venues. Currently, I am a freelance trombonist in the Colorado front range area and am a member of the Colorado Brass Band."
