He is a Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist musician, educator, and all around music lover. His many creative, original projects include the 2020 instant-classic album "Feel-Good Instrumental Music!", leading the heavy hitting avant-rollercoaster-jazz-n-roll band Similar Fashion, and directing an all-ages, all-skill-levels Community Band at Hermon Park since 2018.

Floating is a weekly all-ages outdoor arts series that explores the harmony between soundscape and landscape. We nourish symbiotic relationships among kindred artists, environmental organizations, and unique land projects with the goal of inspiring deeper interdependence among our local communities, cultures, and environments.In addition to weekly gatherings that encourage us to contemplate what it means to belong to an ecosystem, our programming supports a funded seasonal artist residency that explores the relationship between process and environment, as well as land residencies produced in reciprocity with local conservationists and arts communities that foster a deeper connection between people and land.In bringing people together over forward-thinking musical performances, we explore the intersection of music and ecology, envisioning art and performance as integral to the landscape of social organization, all while rehabilitating our relationships with nature and ourselves.
