I was born back in February of 1976 in the beautiful city of Duluth, MN. I started my musical education at 6 with piano lessons. However, by 8th grade, I had picked up the trumpet, and ever since I have been hooked. I went to college at Gustavus Adolphus College (no, not because of the name) and double majored in physics and music and studied with Dr. Stephen Wright. After college, I became a software developer, but freelanced on the trumpet more and more. In the spring of 2002, I joined Lorie Line and her Pop Chamber Orchestra. Ever since, when I'm not on tour with Lorie, I am in town freelancing and making music with many of the best groups and organizations in town. Below is a list of just a few of the groups you might catch me with!
