My love for music and performing is rivaled only by my drive to want to help people grow and feel good about themselves and their skills. I feel that it is very important for seasoned musicians to share what they've gained with those who want to learn and participate in that same world. Every person and every student is completely different from one another, yet we all have learned and can learn from others with different skill sets and experiences. Read More

When you are passionate about what you are doing, you can't help but pick up your instrument and practice! Read More

When I finally signed up for professional guitar lessons, I found that there were not just many things to learn, but many things to unlearn.

After graduating, I taught in the public school system for several years and left to establish my own private studio where I had almost 30 students at one time. Read More
