I attended Central State University in Ohio, where I received my Bachelor in Music degree. I later earned a Masters in Music for classical bass from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. After graduation, I moved to New York City, where I worked as a professional bassist and studied with the late David Walters, distinguished professor of double bass at both the Juilliard and Manhattan schools of music.
