About
The goal is not simply to ‘work hard, play hard.’ The goal is to make our work and play indistinguishable. - Simon Sinek
As a Teaching Artist, self-proclaimed "Musicprenuer," and multi-instrumentalist, I currently maintain a music-centered portfolio career based in Northwest Arkansas. With a mission that focuses on modern, culturally attuned music & entrepreneurial education, I strive to guide individuals on their path of artistic discovery as they create and connect with their communities.
So, what’s this portfolio comprised of?
I am the sales manager for B. Corbin Clarinet Products, a manufacturing and distribution company dedicated to the highest-quality, innovative clarinet products.
The executive director for New Works Project, a non-profit dedicated to breaking down barriers that have historically limited access and sustainability in music. Through our cooperative ecosystem performers, and educators can access composers looking to expand their reach and explore the potential of their artistic voice.
Finally, I maintain an active teaching schedule in Northwest Arkansas with adjunct responsibilities at Northwest Arkansas Community College; coaching young woodwind players for several local public school systems; and maintain a multi-generational studio of clarinet and saxophone students.
As a performer, I have held seats with local and regional orchestras and theatre pit orchestras. Recent performance/teaching/presentation highlights include a residency at Northwestern State University, 2024 NASA Biennial Conference and National Anthem soloist for the 2024 National Junior College Division I Men’s Basketball Championship game.
I love chamber music and making music with friends, thus am a founding member of Cynical Duo, a single reed duo. As well as Conundrum, a reed trio exploring the tonal colors of oboe, clarinet, and saxophone.
I am performing artist for and play exclusively on D’Addario reeds.
When I'm not busy playing in the music world you can find me spending time with family, friends, my partner - Em, or at any number of events around Northwest Arkansas.
