MY STORY
Picked up the trombone between swim practices and ski trips when I was 10 and haven't put it down. After four years of Penn State Creamery ice cream, I took a portkey south to Houston to study Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, and the greatest magic of them all: music. Friendly to everyone but Hufflepuffs should maintain constant vigilance!

Well, things have been opening up for several months now, and the gigs are returning! I'm so fortunate to live in a city whose organizations value the safety of their employees as we try to safely navigate the end *hopefully* of this pandemic. Most venues/organizations are requiring proof of vaccination and mask wearing at all times when not playing. It seems to be working pretty well and is allowing us to get back to doing what we love most, performing.

I've been fortunate to perform with many groups so far this season including but not limited to the following: the Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera, ROCO, Renee Fleming, Andrea Bocelli, Jonas Kaufmann, the Houston Brass Quintet, the Texas Brass, and Houston's newest professional ensemble: the Magnolia City Brass Band! As we head into the holiday season, I'm trying to stay ahead of my performance schedule as well as prep for a solo recital in January. Stay tuned and follow my musical trek on Instagram (@tromgone). Cheers!
