Most people know me as a trumpet player, composer, and the musical director of the 18-piece Music City Big Band. I’ve been fortunate to build a career in contemporary jazz, earn degrees from Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, and perform and arrange with some remarkable musicians along the way.Music has shaped how I approach everything I do.Leading a big band requires organization, preparation, attention to detail, and the ability to keep a lot of moving pieces working together smoothly. Real estate is no different. A home purchase or sale has timelines, contracts, negotiations, inspections, lenders, and personalities involved — and someone needs to keep it all coordinated and steady.I bring the same discipline and follow-through to my clients that I bring to rehearsals and performances. Clear communication. Preparation. No cutting corners.Nashville has been home since 2015, and whether you’re a fellow creative professional or simply someone looking for clarity and guidance in the buying or selling process, my goal is simple: make the experience thoughtful, organized, and well-executed from start to finish." } ] } ] ```
