He has also performed live on Indiana Public Radio.

He has been a member of the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic, the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra, and the Utah Festival Opera Orchestra; and he has performed at the National Orchestral Institute, the Brevard Music Festival, the Mendocino Music Festival, and the Las Vegas Music Festival.
