Musician, Artist, Educator

Born and based out of Kansas City, Missouri — the guitar has been my primary instrument most of my life. Through a wide variety projects and collaborations, I have been extensively performing, as well as recording in sessions for albums and music for films as a sideman or producer, while maintaining a private teaching practice as well as a position at the University of Missouri Kansas City Conservatory of Music in the jazz studies program. A major aspect of my artistic output is my self-produced project as “schemada” -- the music I release as a solo artist is heavily influenced and adapted in the electronic and hip-hop directions with my roots and formal training in jazz tradition. Live performances, remote or in-person recording sessions, remote or in-person lessons are all services I offer.
