January 30, 2026Chris was extremely professional and accommodating to our needs. He signed on to play two songs at our wedding, which was during the most recent storm. As a bride having to replan the entire ceremony within the course of the week - from location to a new time - Chris' calm and flexibility was a huge asset. His work was also beautiful and exactly what we were looking for in our ceremony. I highly recommend Chris!

I am a classically trained trumpeter with three music degrees from major universities: North Dakota State University (B.M.), University of Texas at Austin (M.M.), and the University of Georgia (D.M.A.). I also have much experience playing jazz and pop music. I have held positions in regional orchestras and soloed with numerous bands and orchestras. From Taps at a service, to hymns at a church, to easy listening jazz, to Trumpet Voluntary at weddings, I am happy to play at any event.
