So why learn from ME?

I started playing the guitar almost 20 years ago. I went to university and got my Bachelor’s Degree in Commercial Music with an emphasis in Classical Guitar. Right after graduating, I was offered a full-time teaching position in the local public schools where I have built the BEST guitar programs in my city. I currently hold two teaching certifications with over 500 Professional Development hours. While teaching High School, I focused on expanding my musical career. I have worked with many artists such as:

• Khalid (Artist)
• John Karpowich (5-Time Grammy Producer/Engineer – Santana, Ricky Martin, Ana Gabriel)
• Jaime Merrill (Artist)
• Enrique Ponce (Film and Video Game Composer)
• Erick Boseman (Rhianna, Whitney Houston)
• And many more

Aside from teaching and being a session musician, I have authored two books and release my own music available on Amazon, iTunes, & all major streaming websites respectively.
