Bio

I teach to help my students cultivate life skills and build community from a shared love of music. I started out learning scales, chords, and songs on guitar like any other musician, but it really became more than that for me. It became an outlet and helped fuel creativity in all other aspects of my life. That's what I strive to pass on to my students in our one-on-one lessons. Each individual lesson is tailored to the student's specific desires and musical preferences. No more learning...

I teach to help my students cultivate life skills and build community from a shared love of music. I started out learning scales, chords, and songs on guitar like any other musician, but it really became more than that for me. It became an outlet and helped fuel creativity in all other aspects of my life. That's what I strive to pass on to my students in our one-on-one lessons. Each individual lesson is tailored to the student's specific desires and musical preferences. No more learning songs that you don't even like. I mean, c'mon. Why would you? I will show you step by step how to achieve your goals in the fastest way possible by figuring out the ways in which YOU learn best. There is no generic, one-size-fits-all, approach to our lessons. Get started today and together let's discover your full potential!!

In 2012 I received my College Degree in Commercial Music Performance with guidance from career greats Dick Gimble, Jon Fox, Beth Ullman, Bill Howard, and Pat McKee, among many others and began thoroughly studying improvisation, Rock, Country, Hip-Hop, Blues, Funk, classical, songwriting, jazz, music composition, and music business. In the years following I toured all over the nation with many renowned bands like William Clark Green and Brandon Rhyder and also shared venues/studios with the likes of Vanilla Ice, Gary Allen, Tracy Byrd, Midnight Star, and many more. I have been teaching for the past 13 years and have used this time to perfect my method of teaching to get the best results from each student.
