I'm an enthusiastic instructor that loves working with students of all ages to further their love of music, as well as their skill and appreciation for their craft.

In addition to the many venues and tours I've performed, I also yearly participate in a large-scale performance at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

I'm a guitar instructor from the East Texas area who began playing at the age of 13 years old and have been playing now for about 20 years. I've always enjoyed playing solo guitar (mainly fingerstyle), although I have also been in several ensembles during my time in high school and college. Starting out as self-taught, I decided early on that if I wanted to progress I should probably take lessons, so I took lessons for a year or two at a local music shop. Read More

I began teaching during the time I was in college. I love to inspire students with my own love of music!

I teach a combination of classical and more contemporary music as well as music history and music theory. I also teach my students to compose and improvise their own songs as well as play by ear.
