I like to keep a fun, lighthearted, and exciting mood in my lessons. My priority is keeping students working towards their own goals.

Interacting with the incredible teachers, visiting Pro players, as well as great players in my class such as Ken stiger, Jamie Findlay, Jennifer Batten, and Steve Vai led to a real leap in experience and playing ability.
