A lifelong member of First Presbyterian, I joined the music department as handbell coordinator in November 2013.
I studied music education with an emphasis on percussion at the University of North Carolina Charlotte, where I graduated cum laude. I perform regularly in the Charlotte area as a jazz drummer and vibraphonist and have performed with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra both as a section player and featured guest.
In addition to music, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and spending time with my wife Susannah, daughter Lila, and our two dogs, Ashe and Bo.
