I started playing drum-set professionally as a freshmen in high school and have never stopped. It was my first true love, and my way into my own musical voice.

I have 17 years experience performing drum set, hand drums, mallets and many other percussion instruments. I received a Bachelor's in Music for Percussion Performance and Music Education from the Sacramento State School of Music and I received my Master's in Music for Percussion Performance from the University of Nevada, Reno. I have experience teaching in public schools (high school and middle school levels), the collegiate level, music camps, and I have maintained a private studio for over two years. I have a method of teaching based on what you want to learn while also going over technique, posture, musicianship and music theory.

My goal is to make lessons fun and informative, so let's enjoy the journey of making music!
