About Me
About Me I am a consummate musician and composer. The melodic sounds of my trumpet and compositions have been described as “breathtaking.� I compose music for many genres including instrumental, jazz, new thought, and music for children. Like most musicians, I began my love of music in 6th grade band. It became apparent that I was a natural, and played in the All West Band, All State, and Honor Bands. I continued my education in must at the University of Memphis with a Major in Music Performance in Trumpet. I was a member of the University Marching Band, Wind Ensemble, and the University Orchestra. Today, I perform for audiences including churches, jazz venues, plays, and other s. I perform regularly for Open Heart Spiritual Center. Currently, I reside in Winston Salem, NC with my wife Synolve, and our two children Alexzandria & Evan. Alexzandria began playing clarinet in 6th grade as well. With her dad’s encouragement and guidance, she has begun performing in church. Evan has decided to be the sound technician.
