He received his first saxophone at age 13 and his love affair with Jazz and Funk music began. Mostly self-taught, his only formal training has come from lessons with Philadelphia sax greats such as Frank Mazzeo and Ben Schachter. He’s been playing professionally in venues around Richmond and northern Virginia, and has held a residency in Chengdu Jiuyanqiao music clubs Blues Live House (巴鲁斯音乐酒吧) and 808 (YP).
