He is currently based in Montreal and will join the cello faculty at Georgia State University (Atlanta) in August 2026. He works with dedicated students at a range of levels, supporting personal artistic development and preparation for professional and pre-professional goals in music.
Formerly Visiting Assistant Professor of Cello at Ohio University, his extensive teaching experience includes masterclasses and chamber music coaching at institutions such as Indiana University, the Colburn School Academy, the Royal Academy of Music, École Normale de Musique (Paris), Hochschule Hanns Eisler (Berlin), and the University of Oxford.

His doctoral research at the University of Montreal, awarded the Luc Vinet Prize for Excellence, led to the publication Taming the Cello, excerpts of which appeared in The Strad magazine.
His principal teachers were Clive Greensmith and David Finckel, with additional chamber music mentorship from Menahem Pressler, Valentin Erben, Arnold Steinhardt, and Eberhard Feltz.
