Lots of exciting things have been happening recently in Greensboro despite the lack of posting I’ve been doing on this website.  The first UNCG Graduate Percussion Ensemble concert occurred last Tuesday on November 1st.

And over this last weekend, myself and fellow graduate student, Korry Friend, recorded all of the current published marimba duets by Ivan Trevino!  During the session I managed to get a stellar camera angle which has led us to call this set of recordings the “Rafter Sessions.”  They turned out great and set up the week great for PASIC 2016 in Indianapolis!  (BTW, Excape X is premiering a new marimba duet by Ivan called “2300 Degrees” on their session Friday)

You can check out the recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWyu3EosY4C4yrWPjbH8zWiBsjbI4AxyB

I’m extremely excited for PASIC for a number of reasons.  Dr. Eric Willie is opening the conference with the first performance on Wednesday night.  Atlanta A&T Drumline (from Greensboro!) will be the first HBCU drumline to present a clinic at PASIC!  And UNT will be presenting a showcase concert on Saturday.

ALSO THE VLOG WILL BE BACK!!!!

I’m not sure that it will be daily because of how busy the week will be, but expect some sort of video to come out after the conference.  See you in Indy!!!

Hello and welcome to my brand new website!

A lot of new and exciting things have been occurring in my life.  I’ve moved from Denton, TX to Greensboro, NC.  I’ll be beginning graduate school at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro.  And most exciting I’ll be in Japan performing with Blast! this year!!!

So it makes sense that this is as good a time as any to open up my new website!  It’s definitely still a work in progress, but my goal is to expand my media footprint and begin to develop some branding on social media.

I have several plans lined up for this fall which I hope you will find exciting.  There are several video and compositional projects I will be working on and posting about periodically.  Additionally I’m planning on posting an as close to daily blog/vlog of my Japan trip right here on my website!  In the mean time here are some pictures from our rehearsal period in Nashville for “Blast! the Music of Disney” (Disclaimer: Keep in mind I’m not allowed to post most content regarding the actual show due to copyrights, so these are mostly photos taken around rehearsals.)
