I love many types of music and am lucky enough to play, teach and write music for a living. I primarily play the saxophone and will always be a lifelong student and jazz and improvisation. I mostly compose music on the keyboard and on the computer. I'm blessed to be living in Colorado where I make music with my friends and teach music lessons.
