Teaching at Centreville Music since 2007.

I am a Baltimore area trumpeter, from Augusta, GA originally, and I came to the DMV in2009 via USMC fleet bands. I’ve taught music in the DMV since 2011. I freelance, compose, tour, do recording sessions, and have worked for local, national, and international artists. When I’m not doing these things, I endeavor to practice/listen often and count it a joy to be in worship and church fellowship.(Gig w/ Norman Brown!

Leo provides hybrid lessons now. He drives from Baltimore to Centreville once a month so student can take convenient online lessons but improve skills better than online only lessons.
