I have a BA in Music Education from the Crane School of Music and am a former director of the National Symphony Orchestra of Samoa.  I teach private lessons in my house and perform locally in many different settings.

I am a professional trombonist, pianist and all around musician.  I am available to accompany everything ranging from solos to musicals.  All musical styles accepted.

I am available to work as a second set of ears for your groups.  I am able to run rehearsals, tune those pesky chords and get everything working like a well-oiled machine.
