I've been playing the guitar for 30 years and teaching full time for 15 years. While in my early teens I studied with George Hanepen, a local guitar player whose teaching emphasized reading, theory, and improvisation. After high school I attended the College of San Mateo where I studied music with "Gus" Gustavson and Fred Berry. In 1988 I began working for From The Heart Music, an after school music program based in San Mateo, California. During this time I was working with as many as 60 students a week, often in group settings with students of varying levels of musical experience. Since 2001 I've been teaching privately out of Clocktower Music in San Carlos. The types of music I love the most are American roots music, jazz, blues, folk, rock, and country.
