Having completed a 8,000-show Las Vegas, Broadway and international touring run as Percussionist with Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère, Zarkana, and PARAMOUR, my “day job” has me composing music through Yata for Luda and my “night job” has me drumming as Musical Director with Cirque’s Mystère. I am also the Drumline Coach at Michael Jackson One by Cirque du Soleil. #AllWorkAllPlay

Prior to performing with Cirque, I was Percussionist and Snare Drum Soloist with the U.S. Touring Cast of Blast!, as well as a performer in the African Drum and Dance Ensemble, Azaguno. Other past performances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Latin Grammy Awards, Amercia’s Got Talent, and Dancing with the Stars. #TVstuff

As an educator, I taught in the North East Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas (Ronald Reagan High School Cluster), where I initiated a curriculum of World Percussion, including steel drumming, taiko drumming, and African drumming and dance. I organized numerous outreach programs and participated in organizations specifically geared towards those with physical and intellectual disabilities. My articles have been published in leading journals and publications such as “Percussive Notes.”#SmartyPants

I earned a B.M.E. from The University of Louisiana at Monroe and a M.M. from West Virginia University. The Las Vegas Weekly wrote a featured article about me, and I even won a few soundtrack awards, including the Las Vegas Valley Theatre Awards “2016 Best Sound Design.” Check out my writing for film. (Yeah, that’s totally me singing.) #DoReMiFaSol

If you’ve read nothing until now, don’t miss this next part, as it’s the most important:  My mother took the time to drive me to private lessons every week, and for that, I am very thankful. #Blessed
