Don't know if the Trogdor reference was intentional or not. But I love it either way.

Looking up production companies for my work as a music supervisor, and I came across this logo. It's now my favorite company name/logo combination I've ever seen.

Second night of gigging in a swanky jacket.

Rehearsal time for Dreamgirls. Playing bari sax, bass clarinet, and flute. Stoked for this show!

When choir people can't contain their weird noises.

Had a blast subbing for Jersey Boys at a local theatre this weekend. Always a treat to play shows with friends and see familiar faces in the audience.

Me and my friends always loved these background characters that just froze in place right before the "Stand Out" reprise, presumably to save money animating them.

When you tacet during the fun song and all you can do is vibe on stage.

As a woodwind player, this little Fix-It tool is one of my favorite gadgets to keep in my case. One side is a screwdriver, pretty straightforward.

But the other is a hook for when those pesky needle springs slip out of place.

When the percussion plays a half beat earlier than the rest of the orchestra.

I was hired to play clarinet and bass clarinet for a Christmas gig recently. This clip was from a practice session leading up to the show.

At the time, my clarinet chops were really rusty and I hated how I sounded. Looking back on this take, I'm not as terrible as I think.

Another Christmas concert complete.

Got to see the local army band play a concert at my kids school. My favorite part was the bassoon with Christmas lights all over it.

As a Metroid fan, this was a delight to see on my morning commute.

Played clarinet and bass clarinet for a Christmas show in Salt Lake City last weekend. A great way to kick off the season!

Got to hang with Jody Espina for a bit and try out some of the newly redesigned Eugene Rousseau mouthpieces. I took this stupid video when he was away for a minute. He's done some incredible work with these!

My favorite part is the background. I couldn't find any existing images I liked, so I just flipped open a random page of the Charlie Parker Omnibook, took a photo of that, and used it for the background.

I recently designed a poster for an upcoming saxophone clinic at my local music shop. This one was particularly fun to make, and I think it turned out pretty cool.

Pro Tip: Don't use BigCommerce to build your e-commerce website.

Aside from the lack of undo button, lack of copy/paste feature, and general glitchiness, it has a pretty unintuitive UI for a platform that supposedly makes building a website easy to do.

Exhibit A: Left is Right and Right is Left

Did a recording session on clarinet and bass clarinet today. It's good to be playing these again.

Old photo I took of a Backun Alpha clarinet with rose gold keys. A bit of a rare find these days.
