About
I'm extremely passionate about what I do, and I know what it takes to bring your playing to the next level. I'll work with you no matter what your current skill set is to help you acheive your goals. Covid-19 is giving you the rare opportunity to study with someone who is a very experienced touring musician, but is now stuck at home in Orange County for the foreseeable future!

I love the satisfaction of seeing week to week progress in a student, and watching them fall in love with playing music as it becomes more and more natural!
I love playing and teaching a wide variety of styles, and will work with you no matter what your goals are or current skill level is!
