History
When I began studying the guitar as a boy, I was immediately taken by the broad range of music in which it played a role. Folk, rock, blues, classical, jazz and every imaginable genre in between. I have continued to explore this diverse musical landscape in my performances and am excited to share the techniques and tools for recreating the same excitement with all of my students! After performing in folk ensembles and Rock and Blues bands throughout my school days, I studied the classical guitar and international music in college. I completed my BM (GA State) and the Master of Music (Cleveland Institute) and received 1st prize in several national competitions. Since arriving in Philadelphia in 2000, I have served on the music faculty of several colleges and universities and provided private guitar lessons to students from 5 - 85 years while continuing to perform in both solo guitar recitals and chamber ensembles and completing recordings as well!
