"When I returned from my second trip to Brazil, after spending one year living there, I made it my mission to bring the maracatu rhythms to the United States. It's been a long hard road. I've been very fortunate to have great friends and mentors who helped me find a way to keep pushing my projects to the next level while trying to make a living doing my passion. Below are some of the awards that I've received over the years for my projects that I felt were worth highlighting."
