About
We were all born to rock! Some of us just need a little help finding the way to Rocktasia
I came outta my mom headbanging with metal horns on both fists. The doctor had to seperate me from the other newborns cause I kept starting a mosh pit and injuring the other babies. They also performed a "necessary" surgery on my hands so they worked "properly"??? They said id never be able to do anything like feed myself or pick up everyday objects if they left the horn fists....I suppose im thankful.
I have over 30 years of rock experience from huge multi stage festivals with tens of thousands of people, to the smallest and dankest clubs with a handful of hardcore fans. If youre ready to rock, Im the dude to get you there.
The road to rock is awesome and rewarding, but isnt for everyone. If you're some kinda lame poser trying to get chicks or look cool at parties, keep walking hombre. I only work with dedicated and serious about their rock training. I only ask that you keep it real and be honest about your goals and what youre willing to sacrafice for rock royalty.
If you're ready to rock, lets get started. Call or text (301) 665-6906

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Every student is different. So my approach is customized to fit exactly what each individual student requires in order to raise their rock level to maximum rock-itude. Get ready, cause we're cranking it to 11!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Over 30 years of hard rocking experience all across this awesome globe. Been mentor to some of the biggest names in Rock including, Claudio Sanchez/Travis Steaver from Coheed and Cambria, Davey Havok of AFI, and Howard Jones and Adam Dutki-something (his name is really hard you guys) of Killswitch Engage. If you dont think these guys rock, then you need to be committed to a facility that feeds you an endless supply of psychiatric medications while resorting to the most extreme measures of neural rewiring known to man...cause you CRAZY Homie!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
The pricing is based on each individual student. If they already rock to any degree, that is definiteldy taken into consideration during the pricing of services. Most of the time I find that a lot of people have some amount of rock power within their soul. Very few have to start completely from scratch, however, those students did very well after completely handing over their souls to the Gods of Rock and remain some of my most accomplished rockers of all time.
How did you get started teaching?
I never really wanted to. People just kept asking me to help them rock harder. So it started out just a few friends for free. But they told some poeple who told some people, and here we are. Apparently im "in demand" or whatever. I just fell into it, man.
What types of students have you worked with?
All across the board from guys/girls that have never played a note on an instrument, all the way to very talented classically trained musicians who could technically shred beyond my comprehension, however, not possessing the tiniest amount of rock in their lame, weak DNA. Any student with a desire to rock is my student.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
All of em, man. Every moment of my rockin life
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
There are a lot of people who say their way is the fastest, easiest, most cheapest road to rocktopia..all lies.
You have to crawl through the depths of Rock Hell, constantly fighting to escape from the asshole of Satan and his daemons while they tear flesh from your bones and rape your ear slits in a pit of the hottest fires of the Underworld. The duration of which lasts tens of thousands of lifetimes....So how dedicated are you, huh? Do you have what it takes to rock your way to immortality and snag yourself a seat at the Legends of Rock Roundtable?!
