What's New? - Summer 2025 Update

Welcome to the brand new website, I am really happy with how it has turned out. If you notice anything off, please let me know and I will fix it as soon as I can. I designed the site myself in VS Code and there could very easily be a bug or two! :D

I am very excited to announce that I have just recently graduated from the University of Oregon and have begun my professional career. This summer I have been working on compiling all of my works from the past few years and creating a catalog for this website!

Additionally, I am performing a few summer gigs with E 18th Brass Band, as well as teaching a band camp once again with the Mountainside High School Marching Ensemble! Additionally, I have also been making steady progress on the development of a drill design application I am excited to share with the public sometime later this year.

That is all I have to say for now, thanks for stopping by and checking out my site!
