Through my academic study of music theory, history, and performance, I have been able to play with and learn from many accomplished musicians. In 2008 I graduated from Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, and since then have written for, recorded with, and played in many different bands throughout the country. From Laurel Lee and the Escapees, an alternative country band in my hometown of Jacksonville, FL, to latin rock and salsa groups in Eugene, OR, my appreciation and desire to understand rhythms from different musical traditions is always growing.

I began teaching after graduating high school and have continued to do so ever since. During these years I attended college at California State University Chico, where I earned my Bachelor's degree as an audio engineer. This journey greatly helped me grow as a musician, teacher, leader, and engineer. Through out my college years I continued to play in bands both through my school and locally in our community, started my own business to help local musicians gain recognition and improve their skills, gained a new appreciation for musicianship and creativity through the eyes of an audio engineer, and of course taught my students to improve their musical abilities.

I highly encourage my students to practice every day for a minimum of 20 minutes in order to retain information as well as their technique. Read More
