I've been performing and composing music for over two decades. I attended LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts (the fame school) in New York City and continued on to the New School University Jazz and Contemporary Music Program.I have a solid team of professional musicians in my performing network which work for me for various clients who want and need music for their events, whether weekly or for special occasions. I account for over 300+ shows a year which includes about 250+ performed under my ensemble, and the rest I outsource. Between my performances and being director at the Litchfield Jazz Camp, I oversee and hire over 25+ musicians, year-round for performances, as well as 50+ part-time freelancers for Litchfield.Beyond being a full-time musician and composer, I am the current Director Of Operations at Litchfield Performing Arts. I also advise numerous hospitality companies in the tri-state area in regards to musical talent and performances. I have extensive knowledge of branding, budgeting, staff training, keeping a focus on goal setting, a strong and kind presence as well as skills in video editing, basic photoshop & music editing skills, voice-overs on videos created for promotion, social media, etc. My career has made me develop team management skills as well as extreme patience while developing freelancers. My travel, performances, and recording schedules are generally packed with shows year-round. Time permitting, I do a number of motivational speeches on goal setting in cities I am performing in. I've given back to the community when given the chance by going into many schools to present master classes, clinics, and lectures with a focus on music, career building, and personal development.I continue my relationship and love with education working with Litchfield Performing Arts - www.litchfieldjazzfest.comSpecialties: Performer, Educator, Marketing and PR, Brand Building, Video Editing, Computers, and all general technology and customer service. Due to current events, I am open to considering positions that are unique to my skills and what I bring to the table, even if it's different from my musical talent. I was able to become a full time touring musician with a large network in an era where that is not typical, so I am also happy to further develop with other projects.I am always searching for amazing companies to consult and build unique programs and experiences. I am a student of personal development which includes the consistent study of Earl Nightingale, Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Les Brown and Tony Robbins.
