I LOVE music! I have spent so many hours throughout my life writing songs, being in bands, playing shows and making records. Music has taken me around the world and offered me so much joy and so many cool experiences. I have a real passion for teaching and I would love to help you learn. I am very laid back and low pressure. I believe learning music should be fun and enjoyable, not stressful. My focus is on getting my students playing whatever kind of music they are into and understanding the fundamental theory that underlies it. Whether you have a casual interest in playing or you hope to write your own music and perform, I'd be honored to help you.

My background with music began with blues, rock and R&B as a kid after watching the movie school of rock. Favorite artists of mine include Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Mac Miller, Anderson Paak, the 1975, foo fighters, Paramore and more. When I'm not teaching I am taking on the roll of session artist for guitar and drums based out of a local studio. In my personal music I sing, produce and play guitar/drums. Currently I am a hired drummer for the independent artist Seth Witcher. Music and teaching have taken me from PA to Portland Oregon, LA, Nashville, Maryland and I'm am very excited to share my experiences with my home state.
