I am an educator, musician, and audio engineer born and raised in Reno, Nevada. I earned a Master's Degree in Music in Music Technology as well as a Master's in Education specializing in Social Studies Education.
As a music educator, I've taught private music lessons, including guitar lessons, bass lessons, songwriting lessons, and music theory tutoring, since 2010. As a public school music teacher, I taught AP Music Theory, guitar ensemble, orchestra, music production, music industry, choir, and keyboard skills in both middle and high schools. I specializes in making individualized approaches to music that combines students' interests with traditional musicianship.
Additionally, I've taught world history, American history, economics, and American government at the high school level in both Title I and private international schools. I pride myself in teaching American history and government, but also enjoy teaching economics and psychology. I especially enjoy the overlap of these various subjects and how they interact to make the world we live in today.
My audio engineering career has covered a wide variety of genres and styles, including rock, country, jazz, classical, hip hop, pop, R&B, metal, and bluegrass. Some of my clients include Mike Love and The Beach Boys Band, Whitesnake, Doug Clifford (of CCR), and Chance McKinney, as well as dozens of national and regional artists in and around Northern Nevada and California. In addition to music production and audio engineering, I am also an experienced audio editor and sound designer.
My undergraduate degree involved extensive training in music theory and analysis, orchestration, and composition, and I've been applying this training to offering music production, arranging, and songwriting services to help other musicians bring their creative ideas to their fullest potential.
