Excited to announce that I'm joining the world-class team of music educators at Northwest Boychoir, where I've accepted a position as Intermediate Choir Director. I'll be working with young singers teaching vocal technique, music literacy (let's go solfege), and collaboration.

"Cuz here's the thing:
To know how it ends and still begin to sing,
As if it might turn out this time.
I learned that from a friend of mine."

I'm so honored to be playing in Hadestown at Seattle Prep February 21-March 8.

I had a blast jumping in as last-minute conductor for the 290-person MAGFest* Community Orchestra and Choir, leading a very boppy arrangement of a couple Sonic songs by Tee Lopes. Thanks to everyone involved!

*Music And Gaming, not that other thing

Fun fact: the Atari was 24 years old when the Xbox came out 24 years ago.

"To the world we dream about. And the one we live in now."

I'll be playing trombone and glockenspiel for Seattle Prep's spring production of HADESTOWN. This is a total bucket list show for me and I couldn't be more excited to be part of telling this old story in a new way. Killer bone part, so fun.

Excited to announce that I'm joining the production team at Shorewood High School as the vocal director for their spring 2025 musical. Can't wait to dig into this score and start working with the kids!
