Whether you are picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to master advanced lead techniques, you will learn from a seasoned professional dedicated to your goals. With over 10 years of experience teaching in public schools and holding music degrees and teaching certifications from both Texas and Wisconsin, I bring a structured, highly encouraging approach to every lesson. Beyond the classroom, I am an active touring and recording artist whose original music has charted in the Top 10 on the Texas Music Pickers and played across Latin America. As a former Music Director for the Damian Isaac Band and touring guitarist for Dustin De La Garza, I bring real-world stage and studio experience straight into our sessions. We will focus on what you want to play—whether that is rock, classical, fingerstyle, jazz, or blues—while building rock-solid technique, improvisation skills, and theory that actually makes sense. Let’s make some music!
