Percussionist, The Three Musketeers

I am honored and excited to be invited back to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for a second season. Performing for theatre is my preferred option these days. I toured Europe with Ain’t Misbehavin’ and opened the first post-pandemic production of Ain’t in SLC, Utah, at Pioneer Theatre. I toured Crowns at Indiana Rep., Syracuse Stage, and UConn. I have been blessed to perform for many Broadway shows (not ON Broadway), including: Dreamgirls, Eubie, Purlie, Sophisticated Ladies, In the Heights, Annie, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Once on This Island, and Aida. I was honored to work with The Freddie Hendricks Youth Ensemble of Atlanta, doing several productions. I toured the world with The Chi Lites in the ’70s and can be heard on recording by The Chi Lites, The Dells, The Impressions, Jerline & Friends, The Next Movement, The Dynamic Sounds Orchestra, and Eugene Record. I am a retired school administrator and happy to once again live the life of an artist. I am happily married and living just outside of Atlanta with my lovely wife, LaJean. Our greatest joy is spoiling our granddaughter, Jaden. Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.
