ABOUT

Guitarist, teacher, composer. I teach guitar professionally. As a composer and performer, I'm interested in a couple of different areas:

First, I am very interested in meeting musicians in the Santa Fe/Taos area that are into creating improvisational, ambient, and more experimental music. I seek musicians who play with an open heart and an open mind more than anything else. I prefer to play with good people over good musicians.

I am also really interested in working with people as a sideman, either as a lead guitarist or rhythm guitarist. I know when it's best to get out of the way of the creative process, and I have no trouble working with other people who have a very specific creative vision.
