I started playing guitar at 13 years old, way back in 1996. I taught myself for about 5 years before taking up lessons. I studied classical and jazz under Danny Smith, a student of Andres Segovia who is a famous classical guitarist. I love all types of music and over the years I have played in jazz, rock, blues, metal, punk, folk, and country bands. I love to teach and spread the joy of music to anyone who is interested.

Initially I learned by ear but my journey has lead me to advance my playing through non traditional routes such as learning from others along the way, reading sheet music and watching lessons online.

Every student has a unique journey. My goal as a teacher is always to build understanding for my students, and never utilize methods that are 'tricking' anyone into success.
