I began playing guitar when I was fourteen years old starting with acoustic guitar and shortly there after began playing electric as well. My initial musical interests ranged from rock, classic rock, jam band, jazz, folk, bluegrass and acoustic artists. The styles of music I continue to explore are across the board. My interest in David Grisman and the eclectic style of music his band had the ability to play led me to begin playing the mandolin at the age of seven-teen. Collectively I have been playing music for 18.

Educationally I have studied music in various settings, exploring different styles, with different approaches. In the beginning I taught myself to read tablature and basic theory. After studying different styles and artists I took my formal music education a step farther while attending Florida State. Completing three music courses at the University, receiving an A in each, included the history of jazz 1 and 2 in addition to the introduction to music theory. The...

I'm a Berklee graduate with a degree in music. I have over 15 years experience playing composing and performing. I will teach you guitar, bass or beginner keyboard in any given style. I'm great with music theory and ear training, and will work to make you a better musician.

With four wonderful years of musical teaching experience, I share my gifts and talents with those who too want to express themselves through music. I believe music is worldwide language and so do not intend to stifle any students individual style or sound with technique. Instead I allow the student to take the lessons and techniques learned and together we find ways to adapt to that style so that their best 'musical picture' is heard.
Apart from teaching, I enjoy singing at my own gigs, doing backgrounds for other artists, and working on new music for production in the studio. I have produced my debut album in 2007 and have released two new singles marketed to the Caribbean/reggae/latin genre. I have directed elementary and middle school choirs and led the musicianship of musicals.
I believe if a student has their talent, dream, and enthusiasm packed in their backpack...then they are ready to start lessons.
