Introduction: Hi! I've been playing guitar professionally and teaching for over 14 years. I studied music at USC in the studio/jazz guitar department and have worked with many world renowned players. I have had the great privilege to perform with touring artists such as David Archuletta (American Idol sensation), Nicole Henry (2013 Soultrain music award winner). Frances Ruffelle (Tony Award winner) and Kim Richmond (multi Grammy nominee), and performed events sharing the stage with Jerry Seinfeld, Andrew Dice Clay, RuPaul and the Gypsy Kings, while working regularly with some of LA’s top musicians and A-list players. I have also released three albums under my own name, all available on iTunes, Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, and wherever music is sold. I play all styles including rock, jazz, pop, folk, country, metal, and classical and am willing to teach anyone who has a genuine interest in learning. I believe in keeping things fun and focusing on whatever the student is passionate about working on. Whether you're just looking to play a little bit as a hobby, or if you want to take this as far as you can go the sky is the limit and I will help you reach your goal as quickly as possible. I work with students of all ages and teach each person differently based on his or her goals and personalities. Feel free to email me with any questions and if you want more information. Thanks!
