I have been teaching guitar professionally for over 4 years in the Atlanta area. As a recent graduate of Kennesaw State University with a degree in Jazz Guitar Performance, I have developed a deep love for music and the guitar which I thoroughly enjoy sharing with my students. I currently teach and perform, traveling across the United States with various groups performing a multitude of genres, all of which I love teaching and sharing with eager students! I was not a "natural" guitarist, so I have a great method for making guitar/music make sense so that all of my students can be successful. I look forward to working with you!

Want to play your favorite songs? Interested in learning to write and record your own music? I will help you build a solid foundation of music theory and technique while tailoring to your personal tastes and goals. Part of my lesson plan involves me recording, mixing and producing a song that you eventually compose. Shoot me a message to see if we're a good match!

I can play any song just by listening to it once or twice. Three times if it is really difficult. I can do this with guitar, drums, bass, piano, or harmonica. I am intermediate at trumpet, violin, mandolin, and ukulele as well and have 6+ years of teaching music experience.

A great teacher is not only one who is skilled with their instruments, but also knows how to effectively impart that knowledge in a effective model. I have been playing for over 45 years and have learned from some of the best.

I studied classical guitar under Glen Shulfer from the band Grassroots which sold millions of records during the 60's and 70's.
