Low Profile is a Boston based jazz ensemble performing original music written by members of the group. The band freely negotiates between many genres of improvised music, from funk based grooves to fast swing, Latin rock to the Avant-garde and everything in between. The group vision comes from all of the members who perform to the ideal that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

With wanderlust in heart, he left his small-town Ohio roots in 1995 land landed in Boston. Since arriving, he immediately acquired a Double bass and dove head first in to the Jazz, World, and Blues scenes. Taking every opportunity to learn, perform, and record in many genres has landed him on many a bandstand throughout the Northeast, across the US, Canada and Europe backing artists such as Toni Lynn Washington, Tom Hambridge, and Nicole Nelson, on stages such as Symphony Hall, Tanglewood, and King Biscuit to name a few.
