I’m a bassist, composer, and teacher.

I’ve been fortunate to have the chance to study my instrument with François Rabbath for the last 10 years. This has had an indescribable impact on my playing and my life. I’ve also been very lucky to perform and record with many amazing musicians, among them Nathan Hanson, Didier Petit, Peter Hennig, Pablo Cueco, Erik Fratzke, Tony Hymas, Marc Anderson, Mirtha Pozzi, Peter Leggett, Sowah Mensah, and Kip Jones.

I perform regularly in a duo with Nathan Hanson - our new recording Selenographia will be released in April 2012.  Our previous release, Bellfounding, was released in 2009.

I’ve performed my music widely in the United States and France.  Some notable venues include the Atlantique Jazz Festival (Brest), Angora (Paris), Elastic (Chicago), Dialect (Charlotte), Ajmi (Avignon), Sons d’Hiver (Paris), and Studio Z (St. Paul).

I’ve written music for myself and lots of other people including choreographer Sarah Hauss, Fantastic Merlins, and for the French documentary films Aller Simple and Hubert Nyssen – a livre ouvert.
