Dr. Hall's educational and professional career have taken him across the country. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, he began his undergraduate degree at the University of Utah under Lori Wike before transferring and finishing at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music to study with William Winstead and Martin James.

Dr. Hall has performed with professional groups all over the United States including the Hawaii Symphony in Oahu, Hawaii as Associate Principal/Second Bassoon and as a frequent substitute on bassoon and contrabassoon with the Utah Symphony | Utah Opera. An avid proponent of chamber music, Dr. Hall has considered himself lucky to have been included in numerous ensembles including a long stint in the Potomac Wind Quintet. Dr. Hall currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah where he teaches his private bassoon studio and is a professional freelance bassoonist and contrabassoonist in the area.
