Bio
Music has been my passion since I first picked up a guitar at the age of 13 here in Greensboro, NC, and it’s been an incredible journey ever since.
Teaching guitar became my calling, and by the time I was 20, I was already sharing my love for music and the guitar with eager students. Since 1986, I’ve dedicated my life to teaching, providing thousands of students with personalized guitar lessons. Over the last 35 years, I’ve given tens of thousands of lessons, connecting with over 50 students a week.
In 1988, I took a break from teaching to embark on the next chapter of my career: touring with the Florida-based rock 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!”
