Grateful. Grateful for having maintained a job that I love for this long, even through this unexpected pandemic. Grateful for the experiences and memories I’ve had, good and bad. For the growth and continuance of growth. Just…grateful.🙏🏾 #FiveYearPin #CarnivalCruiseLine #CarnivalEntertainment 🛳 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVOt3Gul7Qc/?utm_medium=tumblr

PUBLIC SERVICE SHIP ANNOUNCEMENT: My new ship assignment is on Carnival’s brand new flagship, the Mardi Gras. Here I will be playing with some killer musicians plying a plethora of music and enjoying the experience of being part of this wonderful (very large) Inaugural Music Team. You see 4 musicians in the picture but there’s about 30 of us…! When I say this is a dream come true and a prayer answered, I mean exactly that. I can’t wait to play with these musicians and see your faces coming to cruise on this ship! WE ARE BACK. #CarnivalEntertainment #WeAreBack #MardiGras 🛳 (at Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ2Ng1xlMjr/?utm_medium=tumblr

In my entire musical career, I’ve NEVER stacked my cymbals. First time for everything, right? Swipe left to hear how deep this stacked combo sounds. • • Sabian 16” FRX Crash stacked with a Sabian 15” AAX X-Plosion Fast Crash #SabianCymbals #StackedCymbals https://www.instagram.com/p/COybPxTloyO/?igshid=ra8sot0emsho
