While I enjoy performing at a wide variety of events, weddings and corporate gatherings are my favorite. Guests consistently appreciate the elegant atmosphere my music helps create

With over four decades of experience as a professional musician, my journey began at 16, performing with a small group at an officers' club on a military base. Since those early days, I've had the privilege of traveling the world, bringing music to a wide variety of audiences and events.

Over the years, I’ve been influenced by many artists, but two saxophonists who have had a lasting impact on me are Dexter Gordon and Kirk Whalum. One of my favorite performances is Whitney Houston’s rendition of 'I Will Always Love You,' featuring a soulful saxophone solo by Kirk Whalum.

I have over 40 years of professional performing experience.

I have my own small sound system for my backing tracks and microphones. I also provide a wireless announcement mic for client use at no extra charge. I perform a 2 hour minimum time frame with one 15 minute break, and a 4 hour maximum time frame with three 15 minute breaks.

I'm happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

I can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs if they are not currently on my repertoire list. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them.

Clients often describe my performances as creating an elegant ambiance that adds sophistication and class to their events.

I perform on saxophones (alto, tenor, baritone), as well as flute and clarinet.
