He earned a Bachelor of Music from Florida State University as a student of William Capps, and a Master of Music from Southern Methodist University as a student of Gregory Hustis. He has performed with the Albany Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Jacksonville Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Tallahassee Symphony, and The Who. His orchestral experience also includes summers with the National Repertory Orchestra and National Orchestral Institute.
At the United States Military Academy, Master Sgt.
