Welcome — Your Musical Journey Starts Here
Who I Am
For nearly four decades I’ve lived and breathed music. From teenage‑age guitar lessons to teaching at Chico State, the Musician’s Institute (GIT) in Hollywood, and countless private sessions, I’ve honed a teaching style that blends real‑world performance experience with a lifelong love of learning. I’m still a private student of guitar and voice, which means I stay fresh, curious, and up‑to‑date on the latest techniques—so my students always get the most current, relevant instruction.
