I'm a modern jazz trombone playing producer who spends time traveling and teaching kids music and musical theatre. I've been on the road since the age of 18, so I know what it's like to be away from home and need comfortable accommodations. Spent time traveling the states, S. America, Europe, Japan, and S. Africa playing with legendary jazz musicians as well as my own groups.

Born and raised in New Orleans, I've lived in this house for 25+ years. Watched New Orleans transform both before and after Hurricane K. A saints fan for life...who dat!

I've got 2 parents, 5 brothers, 1 wife and 1 daughter, so I treat everyone who stays like family. If you want constant communications, suggestions or referrals, we've got you covered. Or if you just want a place to lay your head, chill and be left alone, it's all good!

My wife Trena does the decorating and I am admittedly obsessed with renovating. Just like the brand of jazz I play, I love mixing the old school with the modern. The natural look of wood finish is also a favorite, so just about all of the interior doors in the house are stained and finished, not painted.

My keys to life: Love, respect and good old common sense!

I love living uptown and also renovating properties. You'll immediately feel the love and attention we've given Chateau Carondelet for many years. The 12.5-foot ceilings and 8-foot windows, hardwood floors and arched ceiling trim work are still a marvel to my eyes!

Vibe, high ceilings, wood floors, old=fashioned tub, modernized kitchen, cool neighbors, brick fireplaces (though inactive) and wood, wood, wood everywhere!
