I am dedicated to commissioning and performing new works for trumpet, and want to help foster a legitimate chamber music repertoire with trumpet. You can help me in my quest to commission and perform new compositions in numerous ways; send me a score if you are a composer, or put me in touch with a composer-friend. Financial contributions are always welcome and can even earn you recognition on the published score/future recordings!

I was awarded a Fulbright Grant to travel to the Netherlands in 2007/2008. Sponsored by the Fulbright Center, Netherland-America Foundation and the Institute of International Education, this grant allowed me to take residence in the Netherlands for one year to engage in a project focusing on contemporary music by American and Dutch composers.

During my time in Holland, I worked closely with Arto Hoornweg (Rotterdam Philharmonic, Utrecht Conservatory) who served as a teacher and advisor. I also became active in Holland's orchestral scene, performing with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, Amsterdam Symphony, Orkest van het Oosten and Joop van den Ende's production of Ciske de Rat.
