There he studied with Greg Cohen, John Hollenbeck, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and David Friedman, graduating in 2014. In 2011 he became the first-ever winner of the Savoy Award of Excellence. He has worked with major figures including Joe Chambers, Billy Hart, Nasheet Waits, Jorge Rossy, Fred Hersch, Ambrose Akinmusire, Pietro Tonolo, Gabriele Mirabassi, Dado Moroni, and Joe Hisaishi, and is a member of the Rosen Quintett.
