PEOPLE ESPANOL!!! ****
Hi guys,
People always ask me what its like to be a touring musician and if I ever get tired...and the answer is YES!! Especially after a crazy tour schedule like the one last month- London, San Diego, Los Angeles, Germany, Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles!
So the best way for me to recharge my batteries is to get plugged back into that "home feeling" like visiting with my sister in Oregon, and that's exactly what I did! After the busy-ness, I rested for a few days and had a wonderful visit with my sis, her twins and hubby. We got a chance to watch movies (The Help), Boardwalk Empire (HBO) catch a game of my niece and nephew (elementary football + cheerleading), visit their school, and of course go....SHOPPING!!!
Now I feel completely recharged re-focused and ready to go in for round 2 of Hot Sauce!
Cooking Contest!
We are excited to announce a very special cooking contest featuring Tapatio
Hot Sauce that includes fabulous prizes- like cooking classes, vacation gettaway packages,
and more! Stay tuned right here for the details....

Map and Directions
This year has been an awesome year for me in the Season of giving back. I started teaching private lessons in middle school and continued all the way through my undergrad and after. When my touring career really took off I had to stop teaching because I was gone so often. Now with the help of Selmer and Disney I've been able to reconnect with music in the schools and give back to the next generation of music super stars!
Check out the slideshow from my recent Selmer Jazz clinics:
I'm also proud to serve on the Board of Directors for the Young Musicians Project in Los Angeles. This charitable organization helps bring music back into the schools that have been affected by major state budget cuts. This Friday we are celebrating our one year anniversary! Come celebrate with us at the South Pasadena Music Center. Map and directions.

Be blessed and be a blessing,
Lots of love,

Today I’m proud to be an American!
I’m happy to say that we live in a country of freedom, dreams and prosperity. Today I am proud to say that we inhabit the land of opportunity, jazz, and fulfilled dreams.

San Diego Gaslamp Festival
I’m really looking forward to making some music with one of my saxxy friends, Eric Darius in San Diego at the Smooth FM 98.1 Gaslamp Festival on May 21st. This is the first time Eric and I have ever performed together and it’s sure to be memorable! When I first got started in the Contemporary Jazz Scene, Eric was so kind and generous with his knowledge about the biz, so it means even more to be jamming with my friend and colleague!

Awareness in 2011
Hello friends,
The New Year always brings a time of reflection, as I reflect on the past and focus on the bright future…
In 2011, I pray to realize more than self. For when we are giving we are living. I pray to be a blessing to the people in and around my life.
This Year also marks a year of personal goals being met in International Touring. I have performed throughout the world with other artists but this year I have the opportunity to perform my music with my band around the Globe!!! I feel so happy and thankful to be performing in Dubai, Venice, Croatia, Japan, London and Germany this Year alone!
