Jude is a freshman at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo and a Middleton High School alum. He is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and all around jazzy fresh dude. He has performed in an Essentially Ellington Finalist band as a drummer, and was selected as the drummer for the Wisconsin State Music Association(WSMA) Jazz band, as well as the UW Honors Jazz Band.
In addition to drumming he has performed in numerous theater productions. He and Ben Fagre composed an original full-length musical, titled Ant Wedding: The Musical, with a book by Gavin Schlieckau, that they then produced and performed in June of 2019, under the company Rat Labyrinth Supreme Supreme, which Jude co-founded and co-owns. Jude continues to direct, write, and perform with RLSS in the Madison area.
He also continues to study piano and has several years of violin experience.

Without Jude the Seven O'Clock Jazz Band would be squarer than a six sided hay wagon pulled by three goats driven by Chris Martin.
