Fountain Valley, CA
I have been playing guitar the age of 13. I first started with Country Rock where I learned to read charts and notation. This was mostly acoustic originated music. Soon after I was introduced to Rock and Heavy Metal, which I attempted to play in the local bands. As the years progressed I became more interested in improvisation, which was limited. I soon found my expertise specialized enough to be in a popular Orange County and LA band which sold out clubs everywhere. However, I was still longing to be a better musician. At that time I enrolled in college to study music theory. This led to instruction by a local jazz musician, who changed my life with a active and challenging approach to playing guitar. I was also taking lessons from Ron Eschete, who was one the best jazz chord melody player in the world and an on sight professor at Cal State Fullerton. All the theory and application of sight reading allowed me to be a music director at many large local churches for over 20 years. Then I found myself privately teaching and working as a improvisation teacher at Academy Of Performing Arts. I have now been teaching for over 20 years and continue to grow as an active musician in Jazz, Progressive Rock and Indie Rock.
