Throughout his career, he’s had the honor of sharing the stage with notable jazz artists such as Jon Irabagon, Bruce Forman, Sylvia Cuenca, Clark Sommers, Camila Mennitte, and countless others. His music has been performed prestigious venues like the Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Clifford Brown Jazz Festival, and Chicago Jazz Festival.
