I joined the touring progressive band Sirens on bass in February 2015, and am still currently playing with them. Shortly after joining Sirens we played the Indianapolis, IN date of The Vans Warped Tour. In October of 2015, I went on my first 50 date tour at the age of 19 with Sirens co-headlining with the instrumental band The Fine Constant. Sirens and I are currently endorsed by Ernie Ball and Music Man. After touring in 2015 I attended the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media where I studied contemporary and jazz music under Anthony East and Gary Wilkins. Read More

It is my intention that all of my students understand the importance and opportunities of music. Music is reviving for the soul, academically productive, and a lucrative choice of career if done right. My practice materials for beginner students are flexible.

With beginner students I always start slow so that I can determine how they best learn. I customize my lessons for each student I am working with.

My lessons are well structured and prepared. We'll have a weekly lesson planner that outlines and monitors the practices and explains the focus for the week. Planning is not opposed to spontaneously having fun which is a core part of playing music. Planning helps you have fun as you enjoy your success and see how you improve.-Lessons always have a huge hands-on part: We play songs together, jam over chord changes or try to play a melody by ear.

I am glad to say I’ve accomplished many things in the world of music; during my formative years as a guitarist, I took a few high school classes but honed most of my craft in private lessons and during my hours of practice at home. While at UCSB, I again studied privately (apart form completing my undergrad) with Mark Covey, a pupil of Christopher Parkening. Since then, as part of further professional development, I’ve briefly studied classical music with Taso Comanescu, ongoing with Marc Teicholz, and Jazz guitar briefly with John Storie in LA. Read More
