About
I am an internationally touring drummer and drum teacher versed in many styles of music, and I am always eager to learn and share my knowledge. My students have always grown immensely in their abilities from studying with me. My main priority, though, is keeping this instrument fun and full of possibility for every student!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I will always ask about their background--how long have they been playing drums? What interests them about the instrument? What are their goals? What types of music do they listen to? If they have never played drums before, I will usually start with a basic counting lesson. Then we will start with some basic beats, or some basic fills. Then we will probably start on a song!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied with teachers, through books, and through various videos since the very beginning. I also have a minor in music from San Francisco State University, and I have played professionally since 2016.
