I am a professional guitarist and guitar instructor living in the vibrant city of Denver CO. I have been teaching and performing professionally for the past 9 years and I maintain my passion for playing guitar and teaching music. I teach guitar, mandolin, ukulele, bass guitar, and group guitar classes to all ages and skill levels. I began playing guitar at the age of 14 in Durango CO. Once I graduated High School I chose to major in music at Fort Lewis College, which is where I began taking music seriously, and set out to become a professional guitarist. I studied classical guitar and studied with the amazing guitarist and teacher Louis Steele. I was also active in all the Jazz ensembles, choirs, and Pep Bands. After graduating I toured the Western US with the indie/soul group Hello Dollface. In my tenure in the band we released two albums, completed a Kick-starter for $10,000, and toured in every western state in the US performing in bars, theaters, private events and festivals. Later I formed the funk/soul band Bacon and as the bandleader I wrote much of the music, and managed the band. We recorded a self-titled EP and received a grant from the Durango Arts Center to produce the album. Currently I am performing in the country duo H and H music, the pop duo Spacecat, and a funk and Motown cover band. I have relocated to Denver from Durango CO and am blessed with all the opportunities that the City of Denver has to offer.
