Gigging and recording musician with a wide variety of ensembles.

From 6:00am phone calls dispensing soothing balm to the frayed nerves of stressed film production PAs assuring them of an accurate and complete kit list – to stepping hot off a flight, couriering straight into the hands of a waiting focus-puller in urgent need of the right lens for that closing shot.
