After graduating from the University of South Florida in 2000, he began working as a freelance trumpeter, playing for many different touring Broadway productions and Symphony Orchestras throughout the state. In 2002 he began performing regularly with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra as a substitute, and in 2019 won the principal trumpet position.
