March 43/4/2022 Bobby Shew - I first met Bobby while attending the Aquinas College Jazz Camp. I got a lesson with him and then we drove down to K-Zoo to see the Woody Herman band together. He was the first one to really work with me on breathing on the trumpet!
Jason Marsalis - The youngest member of the family. Been honored to see him over the years! March 33/4/2022 Mike Van't Hul - Mike is one of my spiritual heroes.
