ABOUT

I moved to Oakland County in June of 2019 from Raleigh, NC.

I am a music instructor in Oakland County with a focus on all levels of guitar, bass guitar, and ukulele performance in addition to beginner and intermediate levels of piano, percussion, and banjo.
I beleive in a fun, goal-oriented approach based on the music you enjoy that promotes a life-long love of playing, learning, and appreciation of music. Contact me for locations, scheduling, and rates. 330-389-0727.

I currently play in an Irish-inspired original rock band, a Pop/Dance/Top 40 cover band, a modern country cover/original band, and a worship team.

l may be available to fill-in with an existing cover band, worship team, or the right original project.

Bass and Guitar are my primary instruments.
Drums, Piano, Ukulele are my secondary instruments.
Banjo is my tertiary instrument.

I have professional touring experience, but prefer to stay local/regional. I am also available for studio or remote recording work.

I have nearly 30 years of practice, 25 years of performing, and 20 years of teaching experience.
