Biography:
All it took was hearing the intro to "Turn to Stone" by Joe Walsh to know that I wanted to play guitar. I started out by teaching myself all the classic rock riffs. This eventually led to a bachelor's degree in classical guitar performance from Benedictine College. After college, I played in bands that shared the stage with such acts as Neil McCoy, Brian McComas, and Joe Nichols. I also play classical gigs on a semi-regular basis locally along with playing at a local church every week. Through the years, I have taught as many as 40 students per week from ages 7 to 70, while keeping up on all the current teaching methods.
