About Me
I chose Oberlin to be near my family and pursue various styles of music. I studied with Tracy Rowell, Peter Dominguez and Gary Bartz. I also participated in intramural basketball league and value the friends I made there. Some of my favorite memories from my time at Oberlin were the concerts that I played with some of my closests friends at Finney Chapel or the Cat.
