Experience
Guitar Instructor
Dec, 2009 - PresentRiffs Music
I started teaching guitar lessons at Riffs Music in Murrieta 7 years ago. I began with 1 student, 1 day a week. I eventually expanded that to 4-5 days a week, and have averaged from 30-40 students a week the past 3 or 4 years.
Professional Musician
Aug, 2009 - PresentMidnight Satellites
I have extensive experience as a performing musician. I started performing concerts in high school, and in the year 2009 began playing professionally. Since 2011 I’ve played over 100 gigs a year, from small bars/clubs, to large Cosplay and Camp Pendleton events for thousands of attendees. I have predominantly played with the group Midnight Satellites/Master Splinter & the Shredders (Rock/alternative/blues/metal/funk) which allowed me to become a well rounded player & teacher (won a Temecula Valley Music Award for Best Rock category in 2015). I also perform with a duo (acoustic guitar), and am an experienced vocalist. 2004-2010 I performed in a heavy metal group called Dark Haven. This is where I really sowed my roots playing guitar. I gained experiencing touring, embarking on three US tours. I am proficient at “sweep” arpeggios, finger tapping, and advanced right hand picking techniques and rhythms.
