In addition to that, I've studied guitar with Dave Manley (Herbie Hancock, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu), Mike Stern (Miles Davis, Brecker Bros, Jaco Pastorius), Tim Miller (Mick Goodrick, Randy Brecker, George Garzone), Norm Zocher (Jerry Bergonzi, Bob Moses, Esperanza Spalding) and many other great players.
I've taught people of many different ages and backgrounds. My approach is based on the goals of each individual student, and I do my best to use what I've learned over the years to create meaningful lessons for my students.
