While I have had the opportunity to study with many great guitar teachers and bass teachers alike, I believe my greatest education has come from my wealth of performance experience. Since my first concerts in middle school, I have played hundreds of shows in a wide variety of settings including rock bands, funk groups, large and small jazz ensembles, symphonic bands and as a solo guitarist.
As an educator, I held positions as a guitar teacher and a bass teacher at Yamaha Music Academy and Music Maker Academy before opening my private teaching studio in 2012. All told, I now have over 25 years of professional experience as a performer and as an educator.
