​Wishing everyone health during this challenging time. Most of my live performance work isn't on the table right now, but I'm definitely not playing it safe....I'm cooking up a webseries! Stay tuned :D  It's gonna be goofy, smart, and (hopefully) just the right amount of weird. 

I'm also offering remote lessons now; head on over to my Lessons tabs for more info or submit an inquiry on the Contact page.
