Summary

Being a career musician has allowed me to hone skills that can be used in all professions. I have learned the value of community and of interpersonal connections with both my peers and my audience, I have developed the discipline, focus, and sacrifice it takes to be competitive in my profession, and most importantly, I have come to the conclusion that at the end of the day, I love to help people. As a leader in my current role as Principal Bass, I believe I am an effective communicator, problem solver, and real time decision maker. Additionally, I believe my ability to connect with audiences and high level donors gives me the confidence to speak effectively and accurately, as well as the experience required to function under pressure.
