I was fortunate to lead this group for two years, and organized swing dance events with the Penn State Swing Dance Club.I have been been leading the M&J Big Band along with my brother John for several years now, and we have had the opportunity to perform in many great venues and open for professional groups, such as the Dave Stahl Big Band.

I made countless memories, lifelong friends, developed leadership skills, and made amazing music. During my senior year, I was fortunate enough to be a featured soloist with the PAHS Concert Band on the classic trumpet ballad “A Trumpeter’s Prayer” by Tutti Camarata. It was one of the most rewarding musical experiences that I have ever had and I will cherish the memory of it forever.
