I have played guitar and bass guitar since 2020. I studied classical guitar with Prof. Bryan Reichert from the fall of 2022-spring of 2026. I also studied composition with Dr. Clint Needham, Prof. Rob Kovacs, and Dr. Carolyn Borcherding throughout my years at BW.

Performing Experience:

I am the electric bassist of Cleveland-based progressive metal band Khandria, with whom I co-write and perform original music. We have had frequent concerts since the summer of 2024. I recorded bass for the band’s 2025 EP “Points of Contention” and 2025 Single “The Mechanist.” The group has opened for nationally touring bands including Green Jellÿ and Living Dead Girl. I performed as the hired electric/acoustic guitarist for the pit of Beaumont School’s spring musicals “Six” this past March and “Little Shop of Horrors” in March of 2025. I have been a hired singer in the choir at the United Methodist Church of Berea since this past February. Aside from paid gigs, I have had plenty of other musical experiences. I played classical guitar alongside two violinists in a Baldwin Wallace chamber group in the fall of 2025. As part of the Baldwin Wallace Composition Studio, I wrote, performed, and had pieces performed every semester from the spring of 2023-spring of 2026. For these pieces, I recruited and directed student musicians to bring my visions to life. I was selected by my professors to compose an eight-minute chamber orchestra piece that was premiered by the Cleveland Chamber Symphony in the spring of 2025. I sang in the bass section of the BW Motet Choir from the fall of 2022-spring of 2026. With this group, I performed major works for the main events of the annual Bach Festival from the spring of 2023-spring of 2026. I am experienced in recording, editing, and mixing audio and MIDI in Logic Pro. I am also experienced with creating musical notation in software including Musescore and Sibelius.

Experience Teaching:

I was hired as the music director for Elyria Catholic’s summer musical “Matilda. I instructed the students, taught them the songs, and gave them advice to improve their performances. In the spring of 2024, I performed as the hired electric/acoustic guitarist for Independence High School’s spring musical “Mean Girls,” during which I gave pointers and instructions to the student musicians.
