I provide professional renditions of classical, jazz and any other music you'd like to hear at your event. I do take requests if there are particular songs that you'd like me to play. I'm laid back and easy to work with, and can provide my own equipment if necessary.

My performances are tailored toward setting a relaxed and enjoyable ambiance for an event, although I'm also able to stand out as a feature piece when the situation calls for it.
I started my musical journey at the ripe age of three and a half when my mother brought me to a piano teacher on a farm in rural Pennsylvania. I continued to take private lessons until my high school graduation, at which point I had also become proficient on the guitar and bass and had begun playing gigs around the city of Pittsburgh. During my college years at Kent State University I received credits in world music and jazz improvisation, and spent most of my time playing original music with groups across Ohio and Pennsylvania. In the years following, I have devoted my time to deepening my knowledge of the guitar, the piano and musical composition, honing my skills with mentors, peers and any other fellow musicians I come across (Denver has a lot of them). The rest of my free time goes toward outdoor adventures and concerts!
Over the past 14 years I've filled many different musician and composer roles in many different solo acts and bands with genres spanning across pop, jazz, country/bluegrass, blues, rock, jam/psychedelic and funk. I've been privileged to live across Appalachia, the Northwest, Southern California and the Rockies, and immerse myself in the musical traditions of all of these wonderful places.
I use a small keyboard for piano gigs, and otherwise I don't take up much real estate, just the space of a chair, an amp and a music stand.

I have a small amplification system to run through. It is loud enough to accommodate a small to medium-sized room. For anything larger, a medium to large-sized PA speaker will be necessary.
