I retired after twenty two years of performing as a trumpet player with various US Army Bands in 35 countries around the world.

I have played trumpet for numerous events that have been televised worldwide. Events include Super Bowl XX half time show (1986), performed Taps at the 65th Anniversary of D-day in Normandy, France and the US National Anthem at the 2002 Pocono 500 in Pennsylvania. I also performed with the international group “Up With People”, the Altenburg Music Festival Orchestra in Germany and the Camerata Carolina Orchestra at the University of Heidelberg.
