Thanks for stopping by! Here's recent cool stuff: I will be teaching for the first two weeks of The Eastern Music Festival including EMF's annual Euphonium/Tuba Institute! Very excited for this opportunity to collaborate with the amazing Demondrae Thurmon and many other good friends at EMF! The album I recording with my colleagues in the UNCSA brass department was released earlier this year; Windows featuring Reena Esmail's brass quintet Khirkyaan (I look grumpy in the group photo above but I actually love quintet). NCS low brass performed Jennifer Higdon's Concerto for Low Brass back in November '22! It was a great experience and we absolutely are not allowed to share the recording with anyone! I visited my friends at the University of Oregon for two weeks as a sabbatical sub for Professor Michael Grose in February of '23. Weird pandemic creativity allowed for the creation of a six tuba version of Jurassic Park with some of my tuba buddies- if you listen carefully you can hear modern day dinosaurs tweeting outside Tindall's poolhouse. I love listening to and guesting on podcasts: most recent episode is with BIVA broadcasts and my good friend Sam Ambrose. My podcast episode with Lance Laduke and Andrew Hitz is a treasured memory for me. I never had the chance to meet Lance in person but have always thought of him as a friend. Another good convo here with my pal Justin Lerma on the Business Lieder pod. Here's where to find my article on Symphony Fantastique from the ITEA journal back in August 2018 . I am still teaching zoom lessons online but am also back to doing in person work. Send me a message and check out my teaching section. I don't do much social media because I think it's the worst, apologies if you have tried to follow me etc!
