I'm a dedicated professional music instructor who's taught countless lessons to countless students over the years. I started playing guitar at age nine, and began with the bass at age fifteen. I'm also a singer, songwriter, recording artist, a drummer and a keyboardist. I started performing professionally at age sixteen, playing in numerous cover and original bands over the decades.

Teaching music is my life's most important and rewarding work. Through the years, I've taught every type of student under the sun, and it's caused me to grow as a musician in ways I never imagined possible. I'm an easygoing and supportive instructor, who's none the less committed to doing the best I possibly can for every student, in every lesson.

In non-musical terms, I'm a graduate of UCCS, and I've lived in Colorado Springs since 1983.
