About Me

Following my high school graduation, I joined a cover band, which allowed me to perform top 40's across the country. Artists like Alicia Keys, Linkin' Park, Creed, 3 Door Down, Third Day, DC Talk, Lincoln Brewster, Babbie Mason, etc. We toured from Pennsylvania to Georgia, and all the way to Oregon and California, including much of the Southwest.

After completing my tour, I returned to college to pursue my degree. Upon graduating in 2001, I relocated to California, where I engaged in recording projects, while primarily assisting church bands with their worship music. I have also performed with Charmaine who is a Nashville musician.

I specialize in guiding students as they prepare for careers in the music industry, offering instruction to beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. Whether your goal is to play professionally or to secure a music scholarship for college, I am committed to helping you succeed, one lesson at a time. I have successfully assisted numerous students in achieving their dreams, and I am ready to support you on your journey as well.
