I started playing percussion in the 3rd grade, idolizing drum set players for the energy and passion they brought to music. I began formal percussion training in 5th grade band, and started private drum set lessons in the 6th grade. I studied privately throughout middle and high school, and decided to study music in college. I attended Fort Hays State University in Kansas with a focus in percussion performance. I was the percussion section leader throughout the majority of my college career as well as holding the first chair in Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Winds, Hays Symphony Orchestra, Jazz I, Pep Band, Marching band, and Percussion Ensemble. Thoughout college I also performed with multiple groups on the weekends including jazz, funk, rock, and country, as well as maintaining a teaching studio of roughly 12 students a week. After I graduated with my bachelors degree in May of 2012, I relocated to Fort Collins, Colorado in hopes of continue my passion for music in performance and education.
