Music is and has been my main gig: playing saxophone, writing and arranging, recording, teaching privately, and conducting school ensembles.
I started playing saxophone when I was six, and studied under Australian jazz greats such as Judy Bailey, Bill Motzing, Craig Scott, Dale Barlow, Dave Theak, Adrian Cunningham and Col Loughnan. I've played with John Morrison's Swing City, the Jeff Duff Big Band, The Soul Predators, where I co-wrote and arranged music, and more recently Strange Rooster.
I teach saxophone privately and conduct school big bands and wind bands, work that has taken student ensembles to Japan, New Zealand, Adelaide, Tasmania and many NSW locations. I co-founded Pocket Tutor, software for music educators running private teaching studios, and wrote Riding Through The Wild West for beginner concert band.
