08.14.10 | I am now playing on a GR trumpet mouthpiece
Thanks to Brian Scriver for helping me find the perfect fit. I can honestly say I am excited about the differences in my trumpet playing now that I'm playing on a GR trumpet mouthpiece.

08.14.10 | Enjoy the new music I just uploaded on the site!

08.01.10 | Had a wonderful two weeks teaching at Litchfield Jazz Camp!
Eventhough it wasn't my first experience teaching at a jazz camp, this was by far the most rewarding. I felt I have had the most growth as an artist in the last few years and I was able to share what I learned with the students and faculty. I woke up with a definite sense of purpose, knowing I had the power to make a difference in anyone whom I came in contact with. I smiled more, gave more, and practiced more. Thanks to everyone at Litchfield, students, faculty, admin, and parents. These experiences truly shape lives.

05.30.10 | Two great shows in Miami!
Thanks to all my Miami friends and family who came to the shows in Miami. At the MOCA show people waited out the rain under umbrellas, in their car, and any where they could find shelter. We finally performed and it was amazing! I sang for the first time as a leader and I will remember the experience forever. The show at the EBS Jazz Lounge was great too. I had a different band with me. We played Mushy Widmaiers compositions and arrangements. I sold a lot of CD's and made new fans. Can't wait to come back.

05.17.10 | Sorry
Sorry I havent been updating the live performances section. I've been so busy. I just got back From St. Lucia and Curacao. Both amazing places.
