Bio
Music has been my passion since the moment I picked up a guitar at the age of 13 here in Greensboro, NC. It’s been an incredible journey ever since.
Teaching became my calling, and by the time I was 20, I was sharing my love for guitar and music with eager students. From 1986 onwards, I dedicated most of my time to teaching private lessons, connecting with over 50 students every week. Alongside teaching, I also delved into studio work whenever the opportunity arose.
In 1988, I took a break from teaching to embark on the next chapter of my career: touring with the Florida-based band, Gunfighter. It was an incredible experience sharing the stage with renowned acts like Pantera, Robin Trower, and the late Jeff Healey…to name a few.
In 1992, I returned home to Greensboro, NC, ready to immerse myself in teaching once again. Teaching became my anchor, but I also delved into the realm of music production, pouring my creativity into my own instrumental rock CD, “Event Horizon.” It’s been incredible to see it resonate with listeners worldwide, finding its way onto platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and iHeart Radio.
If you’re interested in scheduling guitar lessons or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help and share my passion for guitar and music with you. Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!

What are current and past students saying?
“Jeff started me off with all the basics. Then, combining a love for classical music plus my desire to want to emulate all popular folk singers, Jeff found a repertoire that fit my style and playing. I am inspired as well as in awe of his knowledge, never-ending patience, supportive words, encouragement and a talent that won’t quit. To coin a musician’s phrase, He rocks!”
“I have taken lessons with Jeff for a number of years and am always amazed by the depth of his knowledge and abilities. I had no musical training prior to beginning with Jeff and he has helped me with theory, technique, and motivation. He is a patient and challenging teacher. I would recommend him for any experience level. Jeff will make you a better player!”
