Originally from Okinawa, Japan, I received a Bachelor of Music degree in Saxophone Performance from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I studied with Taimur Sullivan and James Kalyn and took master classes with Arno Bornkamp, James Houlik, and the New Century Saxophone Quartet. I have been teaching and performing since 1996 in both Japan and the United States.

I enjoy large ensembles and was the principal Alto Saxophonist for the Winston-Salem Community Band (N.C., 2005-2012) and the San Jose Metropolitan Band (Calif., 2017-2019), with whom I performed numerous solos.

I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in March 2019 and have performed regularly with the Santa Fe Concert Band and High Desert Winds. 

I can give lessons in both English and Japanese.
