Hello! I'm excited to help every student at the Cathedral School reach their full musical potential. I began teaching in 2012 at J. Michael Lunsford Middle School, where I ran a guitar program, directed two musicals and taught orchestra and band. From 2017-2019, I ran a successful guitar program and taught AP Music Theory at Green Hope High School, and from 2019-2021 I taught guitar and chorus at Centennial Campus Magnet Middle School. I began violin lessons with Doree Huneven, a Suzuki teacher, at age eight, and began playing guitar at age thirteen. I have a BA in music from the University of Rochester, where I studied jazz with guitarist Bob Sneider, and an MA in teaching from UNC Chapel Hill. You can hear me around town with the Grassomatics and other bluegrass bands. I live in Raleigh with my wife and children and can be reached here.
