BIOGRAPHY
Samuel is a mechanical engineering major at Gonzaga University with a passion for music, applied math, science, and animals (especially cats)! Beyond the professional YouTube facade, he enjoys a normal, happy life with his family and two British Shorthair kittens in Washington state.
I started playing the trumpet as a fifth-grader in beginning band, and if you can imagine, I spent my two first years absolutely hating it, never practicing, and constantly sitting last chair in my school band. Things changed in seventh grade, and since then, I have taken private lessons with two professional instructors, played in a multitude of advanced ensembles, started several of my own instrumental groups, participated in solo competitions and masterclasses, done many 'one-man-band' style recordings, and dabbled in composing and arranging.
​
That said, my musical journey has not been a smooth road. I have undergone braces, an embouchure shift, and other tribulations to get to where I am, and I'm still only taking my first steps. For this reason I am determined to make the learning curve a little less steep for other budding musicians and help them to find enjoyment in their craft.

Thank you for your time!
