My Story

I am a music educator, multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and community event organizer who has been fortunate enough to call Western NC my home for 2 decades. As a native of East Tennessee, the mountains of Southern Appalachia have always felt like home. Music – and the arts and humanities in general – provide an avenue towards gaining a more open and empathetic understanding of the world in which we live. I am deeply grateful to be able to continue my growth as an educator, artist and human being through my work with students, faculty and staff at Warren Wilson College and in the Western NC community.

It is an enormous privilege to be able to work with driven students who recognize their learning not just in the context of their academic studies, but as part of a lifelong journey towards becoming a well-rounded person and caring citizen of the world.
