A graduate of Youngstown State University with a Bachelor in Music Composition and emphasis in Percussion Performance, music school taught me the importance of the growth mindset. As an ensemble section leader, president of a student organization, section leader coach, and group instructor, I understand that success is only achieved through hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Education is our primary source for human development. My mission statement is to utilize the tools I have been granted through my education in order to share that insight with my colleagues. One thing I will always preach to my students is to "do the work," and that work always delivers promising results.

Areas and field of expertise include:
Percussion/Drum Set instruction, composition, basic theory/analysis

Always open for discussion on any music topic or area of interest.
