I am a guitarist, composer, and music educator originally from Lowell Massachusetts. In addition to extensive private instruction with legendary jazz instructor Charlie Banacos, I hold a B.M. from Berklee College of Music, and a M.M. from The University of Massachusetts. My greatest passion is the study of guitar performance and the instrument's application to all musical styles. This pursuit has led me to Nashville, TN where I currently work as a freelance performer, studio musician and writer.
