Thanks for visiting my website! Here’s a little about me:

I’m a Las Vegas-based clarinetist, vocalist, educator, and entertainer

I’m originally from the border-city of Brownsville, Texas and I started with music by playing my grandfather's guitar. He was a country singer-songwriter and country music and song-writing holds a special place in my heart. I started playing clarinet at age 11 and aspired to play in the Army Band. At 17, my dream came to fruition and I joined the Army as a clarinetist. While I served in the Army, I played clarinet, sang, led various ensembles, and met amazing musicians who still remain in my life. My duty stations included:

-The 296th Army Band, re-designated as United States Army Japan Band in Camp Zama, Japan

-The 392D Army Band in Fort Lee, VA

-The Eighth US Army Band in Seoul, South Korea, and Camp Humphreys, South Korea 

-The 4th Infantry Division Band Fort Carson, Colorado in Colorado Springs, CO 

I am fortunate enough to work in the Entertainment Capital of the World; Las Vegas! Here in Vegas, I perform in many different groups and venues. Some of which include:

-Clarinetist and vocalist for the Vegas-based jazz collective, The KPM Collective

-Clarinetist, vocalist, and emcee in the house band at Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas

-Bandleader, and arranger for my German polka band, The Jackalope Biermeister Band

-Clarinetist/bass clarinetist for various orchestral and chamber ensembles at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas

I currently attend the University of Nevada - Las Vegas and am pursuing the following undergraduate degrees:

-Clarinet Performance; previously studied with Dr. Marina Sturm, currently studying with Dr. Bryan Conger

-Jazz & Commercial Vocal Performance; studying with Lara Vivian Smith and JoBelle Yonely

-Music Education with an instrumental concentration

I am a passionate musician and entertainer and I love the privilege of pursuing music. Sharing that passion with others is what drives me and my artistry. Thanks for sticking around this long! Check out my performances page and below are some of the projects I’ve worked on!
