I am primarily a guitar player from the Hudson Valley in New York, currently living in Nashville, TN. I also play and teach bass guitar! I have worked around the world on 3 different cruise ships; namely Carnival Dream, Princess Dawn and Celebrity Millennium.

I went to Dutchess Community College and SUNY New Paltz universities, where I studied music (mostly jazz, classical, Latin/Brazilian and Metal/Rock) and ultimately graduated with a B.S. in Contemporary Music degree.

For beginner drum set, I teach out of "Alfred's Beginning Drum Set Method," as well as playing along to songs the student picks out; this is truly the best way to improve on the instrument.

I first began giving lessons 7 years ago to family friends and have continued to give lessons since then. In college, I gave lessons to other students on campus.
