Northern Virginia Community College (Alexandria Campus)

I am on the music faculty as a string bass (jazz and classical) and electric bass instructor.

Luke James Shaffer

I am in Luke's band as his bassist and have composed some of the arrangements for horn parts and other instruments for shows/recordings. Luke's first CD, Luke James Shaffer vol. 1, was released in September 2018 and his first single "Pressure" has been streamed over 200k times on Spotify. He is a House Studio DC artist.

Cristian Perez Quintet

Cristian is a fantastic guitarist and composer from Argentina and the leader of CPQ. The CPQ is an ensemble that features flute, guitar, bandoneon, bass, and drums. This group has gotten to play at prestigious venues around the DC area such as Strathmore, Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, Blues Alley, and Twins Jazz. In 2016, CPQ released a critically acclaimed album entitled Anima Mundi that stayed on World Music Charts for several months.

International Strings Duo

This group is a violin/guitar duo that I started that plays a variety of styles including folk, classical, jazz, blues, and pop. We have performed at a number of the embassies around DC as well as weddings and concerts. It is a lot of fun.

Freelance Musician

I have gotten to play with tremendous musicians all over the country in many different genres. It has and continues to be a constant source of inspiration. Some highlights include sharing the stage with Jeremy Wilson (former trombonist with Vienna Philharmonic and current trombone professor at Vanderbilt University), Jerry Coker (jazz education pioneer, saxophonist with Woody Herman and Mel Lewis), and Andy Wood (national champion Guitar Center's Guitarmageddon, guitarist and mandolinist with Rascal Flatts).
