I am a professional guitarist/bassist with more than 15 years experience playing in bands of various styles including hard rock, metal, jazz and country. I have toured across the U.S. and have shared the stage with acts as varied as Drivin' & Cryin', Seven Mary Three, Better Than Ezra and Quiet Riot.

I have eight years teaching experience and have a bachelors in guitar performance. I attended AIM on bass guitar and have been playing for eighteen years. Through my education and experience I have had success in teaching the fundamentals and getting my students up to speed by teaching technique and strong music fundamentals. I teach all ages and am enthusiastic about conveying my love for the instrument.

I studied classical guitar and composition at Asbury College and later more in depth guitar studies rock, jazz, and classical at the Atlanta Institute of Music. I have been teaching steadily for the past ten years as well as spending my time with various other musical projects such as leading worship for my church, performing for various parties and weddings, and composing and recording music for a short film. I use my experience and broad understanding of music to inform the way that I teach, so that my students have a robust experience of all aspects of music.

I am a highly experienced professional musician, who has performed and shared the stage with national artists such as Derek Trucks, Maceo Parker, Mother's Finest, Arrested Development, G-Love and Special Sauce, Tone Loc, and Gregg Allman. I currently play with Deep Blue Sun and HEADLINER in the Atlanta area and Southeast region. My students receive fundamental knowledge, but more importantly, they have fun. I love music, and I love displaying that passion to my students.

I am a 27 y.o. University of West Georgia graduate with a bachelor's degree in Music Education with an emphasis in brass instruments. I am also a certified teacher with the state of Georgia and I'm working on becoming certified in Alabama and South Carolina. During college I served as the president for the CMENC chapter for a year and for Phi Delta Musicus for two years. I have been giving private instruction for 7 years on various instruments. During the summers I usually instruct/tech for marching bands all over the state of Georgia. I hope to utilize all of my skills to make learning music fun for any and everyone.

I'm a freelance drummer and teacher working in the Gwinnett County area. I have been playing in and around Atlanta since 1979 and moved here in 1981. I have been teaching for the Gwinnett School Of Music since 1997 and currently have 25 full-time students. I continue to perform on a regular basis with several local acts and work a few months a year with a local middle school percussion section. I received an early education in marching and symphonic music under band director John V. Mazza and had the privilege of marching with the 1st place trophy winning Prince George High School Band of Petersburg, Virginia in the 1969 Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, California. During the 70s I toured throughout the southeast and midwest with a variety of bands based out of Panama City, and Miami, Florida.
