I’m honored to have been awarded Allegro Teacher of the Year for 2018. I recently moved to Tucson from Southern California. I love the hiking, pace of life and the people here. I have been a guitarist/teacher most of my life. My love for guitar and music began in elementary school, when the music teacher allowed us to try various instruments (one which was guitar). After that, I new the guitar was for me. It was in Jr. High that I began taking formal lessons and learning songs by ear from Santana to Genesis. In college, I studied theory, piano, music appreciation and took a professional musician performance class. I eventually opened up my own recording studio in Southern California where I produced, recorded and played on many local bands and artists projects.
