When I was an infant, my mom used to drive me around late at night in her Jeep while playing John Coltrane and Bob Marley. When I was older my dad showed me the movie "the Blues Brothers" and fell in love with the saxophone. On Christmas morning in 2007 I was extremely surprised to find a saxophone under the Christmas tree. Shortly after discovering the saxophone, I discovered jazz. Enrolled in a performing arts high school and studied jazz performance at Temple University in Philadelphia. Raised in a huge mix of deaf and hearing family so I am fluent in sign language. As a veteran of the service industry I am adjusted to heavy drinking and extreme personalities. Can get along with anyone really!
