As a trumpeter, improviser, and composer, my mission is to create life affirming music that connects with audiences and uplifts the spirit. Through education, I nurture the musical and professional development of students to be curious listeners and imaginative performers.


Jon has dedicated his talents as a performer and educator to help others, performing music for the greater good and teaching as his pursuit of servant leadership.
