I’ve been performing, touring, and recording as a drummer and percussionist for 30 years. My background in trumpet also provided me with ear training and music theory that I use as a composer.   I’ve recently taken up theremin–a fretless and touchless instrument that challenges my intonation abilities. Through these experiences, I have a broad perspective on instrumentation, texture, and the integration of percussion and music.
