I started playing guitar while in high school. I then furthered my studies in guitar at the Atlanta Institute of Music (2 Years) and Georgia Perimeter College (2 Years) where I studied Music Theory and Jazz. While at AIM I performed at the Victor Wooten clinic, and while at GPC, I performed in the GPC Jazz Lab Band for 4 semesters. It was during these few years when I played in several rock, bluegrass and jazz improvisational bands, that played out regularly in Metro-Atlanta. I also have run several "Open Mic Nights" in several restaurants and other local venues. I studied with Trey Wright while at Kennesaw State University and graduated with a B.A. degree in JazzGuitar, with a concentration in Jazz Performance. Through my time at Kennesaw State, I spent 3 years performing in the KSU Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Guitar Ensemble, and Jazz Combo Bands. Additionally, I have performed in the Lionel Lueke master class and clinic at KSU in 2010. I have been teaching guitar and music since 1999. I have had extensive experience teaching Guitar, Bass, and Mandolin. While teaching, I try to instill an attitude to my students to listen and to dissect every aspect of a musical piece. Additionally, I encourages my students to search out information for themselves. I am currently working with my own Jazz Quartet ("Fuze") and Jazz Guitar Duo, and really enjoying the group musical experience. I believes in a strict observance of “musical etiquette” that requires each player to critically listen to others, as well as listening to themselves. My influences include: Jimi Hendrix, George Benson, Trey Anastasio and Phish, Led Zeppelin, Jon Scofield, Grateful Dead, Sting, Pat Matheny, Pat Martino, Horace Silver, Sam Bush, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Miles Davis. Favorite musical quotes: "The music exists in the universe, and if you're lucky enough, or strong enough, to get your ego out of the way, the music comes through you."-Trey Anastasio "Music is your friend"-Jim
