I am a bass player, composer, educator, and writer from the San Francisco Bay Area with a passionate interest in Latin Jazz. I focus my bass playing on a combination of Latin greats such as Israel Cachao Lopez and Jazz players like John Patitucci. My composition follows in the footsteps of Latin Jazz legends such as Tito Puente and Chucho Valdes. Academic studies have led me to Wesleyan University where I earned a Master's Degree in Ethnomusicology with a focus on Cuban popular music. I've had the priviledge to play with great musicians such as Pete El Conde Rodriguez, Karl Pereza, Mark Levine, and more. I am the Music Director at Sir Francis Drake High School, where I run, among other things, a Latin Jazz Big Band. I regularly update a blog entitled The Latin Jazz Corner . In fact, I'm not sure if there's a moment in the day that I don't here clave in my head.
