Certifications
P.O.S.T. Public Safety Dispatch Course Completion
Oct, 2010State of California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training
What better way to improve one's teaching and communication skills that to complete a course in public safety dispatch; in this program, I learned to walk stressed out people in crisis-based situations to get to a safe place while remaining calm...Likewise, as a teacher, I help people remain calm while they walk their fingers to the correct frets on the guitar neck 🎸😆.

While I am not a medical doctor, nor play one on TV, if you are snacking on something...let's say...frozen pineapple, then I am fully prepared to assist you if you--God forbid--begin to choke on your snack. But then again... ...Why would you be snacking during guitar lessons? 🤣
