Indiana University, where he received the Master of
Music degree in Trombone Performance.
He has participated in the recording of over twenty
commercially released CDs in various genres, most
recently on a session for Calgary's own Jann Arden. In
addition to his busy symphony, opera and ballet
schedule, he has taught at the University of Calgary and
Mount Royal College while maintaining an active
freelance career performing on alto, tenor and bass
trombones, euphonium and tuba. He has performed in
theatre productions of Chicago, Cats, Cabaret, Evita,
