en attention to detail. My works range from small chamber works to large symphonic orchestrations such as my current project, Requiem Sinfonica - a requiem without words in memoriam to the victims of the Ghost Ship Fire. I studied flute with Mathew Krejci, Maria Tamburrino, and Gail Edwards. Teaching is an important aspect of my own playing and it enhances the joy of music performance. I teach from my home in Pittsburg, CA (Contra Costa County) and offer lessons to students from young child to adult. I have performed with artists such as Dawn Harms, Frederica von Stade, Melody Moore, The Dear Hunter, and many others. I have recorded with the Awesome Orchestra Collective and works by Jim Berenholtz. I currently perform with two chamber groups in the Bay Area of which I am co-founders of. The first, the Etesian Duo is a flute duo based here in Contra Costa County. We perform works for two flutes and various accompaniment. We debuted our duo at the 2016 National Flute Association Convention in San Diego. We perform alone and with other artists. The second ensemble is a gay men's wind quintet called "Queentet" based in San Francisco. We perform standard works for wind quintet, as well as works by LGBT+ composers, female composers, and works by people of color. I am also a regional salesperson for Weissman Flutes New York.
