I began helping my friends work through their music when I was 19 at Missouri Western State University, and eventually cultivated a bustling studio of students through word of mouth. I now teach full time in Zoom and in person with house visits, or at my home studio. My students regularly perform very well at state competitions, form bands of their own, and have found great cause in writing their own music outside of academia. Read More

As a former certified school teacher my focus is on laying the right foundation for a lifetime of musical learning and enjoyment for the student. I want my students to develop skills in all aspects and styles of playing so that as their preferences progress they will be equipped for all genres and styles. However if an adult or intermediate level student wants to specialize I can accommodate them. That's why I suggest they incorporate both note reading and chord theory to their scope and sequence of study. Read More

After six years of teaching school, I was offered a position as Minister of Music at my church. I couldn't say no. God has been good to me. From my earliest memories, I have always wanted to play the guitar and write songs. I've been blessed with many performances and music experiences, but none compare to working with ordinary people to do extraordinary things in the arts for the love of God. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
It was an obvious choice to choose performance, as my passion was so deeply engrained in playing guitar. Of course other degree programs can be more financially lucrative, but having the experience and knowledge set that a degree in music affords is so much more precious to me. Through my studies, it has been like learning another language, and I have had many rewarding conversations and experiences with other musicians that would be rendered impossible if I didn’t have the level of skill and training that was afforded to me by studying music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
It is so difficult to choose just one, but I will soon have the opportunity to play “Spain” by Chick Corea, which I’ve loved for many years. I first heard a version of the piece played by a guitarist, Bireli Lagrene, and it simply blew me away. The head of the piece has some very challenging parts, and especially so for a guitarist because of some awkward fingerings. I have developed exercises specific to some of those to get to a point where I feel comfortable playing it. I will admit I am a bit nervous to perform it, but I feel confident that my practicing has prepared me to have an enjoyable performance.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Before I picked up the guitar, I was most attracted to a career in medicine, specifically surgery. My father is a physician, and I was always exposed to the world of medicine. My family has a pretty strong background in science, and I feel I claimed the roll of a scientist, but of a sonic variety. The mathematical mind needed for medicine and music have a lot of overlap, and I have heard of a number of music students that went on to pursue a career in medicine. My father’s first choice in a career was music, but he went into medicine instead, so I have always had my family’s graces to fulfill my love for music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is a really challenging question, as I have had my hands in a lot of different genres throughout the years. My initial stages were of rock and roll, and I don’t think that will ever leave my heart, but after studying jazz for years, my personal style has integrated a lot of those harmonies into my playing. I don’t like to use the term fusion for my guitar playing, but I would say my approach to guitar playing is a synthesis of hard rock with jazz sensibilities. Additionally, I have played acoustic guitar about as much as electric, making this question all the more difficult to answer.
