Biography

I am a certified PK-12 Arkansas music teacher operating an independent online studio. Beyond teaching, I am an active recording artist and ASCAP member. I have released two studio albums, the first of which garnered significant positive publicity, and am currently in production on a third. Additionally, I perform regionally with my band, playing sets of exclusively original material.

My teaching approach is grounded in over a decade of public school service (K-12) and rigorous academic training. I began my studies at The University of Texas, specializing in guitar, vocal performance, and art music composition. To refine my pedagogical skills, I earned a Master of Arts in Teaching from Southern Arkansas University. This blend of classical composition training and practical classroom experience allows me to expertly guide students through everything from beginner instrumental techniques to advanced music engineering and songwriting.
