I have been teaching guitar for over 20 years, and as an instructor, My teaching method comes from a curriculum I have developed which uses popular guitar driven rock tunes as musical etudes. Educating the student with valuable theory, reading, technique, and scale theory, while remaining fun. As a songwriter I have worked with companies like Wild Whirled Music which writes and records music for use in film and television as well as songwriter and producer greats such as Tim James, Antonina Armato, and legendary Desmond Child. With Wild Whirled Music I have had my songs placed on MTV, FOX, TNT, VH1, CW, E!, Bravo, FX, USA and TLC on shows such as LA Ink, Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Parks and Recreation, Mentalist, Psych, Bones, The Office, The Adam Sandler Film "That's My Boy" and the Greg Kinnear film “Stuck In Love”

I teach all styles of guitar. Specializing in Rock. Everything from very beginner to advanced shred. I use popular songs from throughout the history of rock, from Chuck Berry to AC/DC, to Ozzy, to Nirvana, and everything in between as etude studies to teach technique, theory, and scale theory.

Most importantly, I get the students playing songs they enjoy within the first lessons and doing it properly with flawless technique and learning the theory behind it as well

I have two music degrees:

An Associates in Arts from Edmonds Community College, Edmonds, Washington. My studies focused on performance jazz guitar and I graduated Magna Cum Laud.

Bachelor of Music from Cornish College of the Arts from Seattle, Washington. My studies focused on performance Hot Club Jazz guitar and I graduated Magna Cum Laud.
