Experience
Musician
Jun, 1997 - PresentSelf
As a musician I have been fortunate to tour and record in many places within the United States and Canada. One of the things I've noticed about all musicians, from beginners to "retired" pros, is the desire to learn more AND the passion to show and teach others what they've learned themselves. It is part of the human experience to learn and then teach, and music is one of the oldest parts of that experience.
