Summary

I have been a proficient band leader for 15 years and gained excellent interpersonal and planning skills owning my own LLC. Over the past 10 years as a touring musician, I have learned that I am equally passionate about creating the SPACE in which I perform. I find myself holding the reins often and it comes naturally to communicate clearly with the people I work with. I am a fast learner with a strong work ethic. I've found that when I apply myself, I can learn to do just about anything!
