Flint, Michigan is my hometown. I attended the Charles Stewart Mott Community College and Michigan State University. I have performed with “Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus”, which are two New York-based touring companies that perform “My One and Only” and the “Anything Goes” songs. Also, I have performed with “Great American Music Ensemble” and many jazz artists, including Bobby Shew, Clark Terry, Chuck Mangione, Clark Terry, Pete Christleib, Arturo Sandoval, Louis Bellson, Arturo Sandoval, and many more. I have also performed with various ensembles at the Northsea, Montreaux (Switzerland), Montreaux Detroit Jazz Festivals and The Hague, Holland.
As a band leader, my band included the “Dave Huber-Kerry Moffit Quintet” as well as the “Capital Jazz Society”, a big band. Since 1991 when I joined the United States Air Force music program and bands as an enlisted musician, I have been a part of many ensembles, including jazz ensembles, concert bands, and pop/rock bands. In 1996, I was named the Non-Commissioned officer in charge of the “Dixie Players”, a component band of the United States Air Force Heritage of America Band, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. The Heritage of America Band released “Dixie Parade”, a CD recording of the “Dixie Players”, in 2003. It received wide critical acclaim.
January 2010 saw me re-assigned as the “SHAPE International Band”, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization unit based in Mons (Belgium). From March 2010 through September 2011, I was the Non-Commissioned officer in charge and music director of “The NATO Jazz Orchestra”. This organization participated in more than 20 missions across five Western European countries. The highlights of my time with this ensemble were performances at the “2010 Imatra Big Band Festival” (Imatra, Finland) and final planning and coordination of “A Taste of NATO Part II” by the “NATO Jazz Orchestra” CD.
To date, I have appeared on 45 recordings of different genres including the Grammy-winning “Grand Serenade for an An Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion” from P.D.Q. There are too many jingles and Bach to list. I’m currently writing and arranging music for the NATO Jazz Orchestra and my first recording as a civil band leader.
