I am a student of music and life. As guitarist/musician and instructor for the past 10+ years in the WNY music scene I have been lucky enough to have been able to play with some great musicians and have studied with truly the greatest minds this area (or in my eyes any) has to offer. I hold a degree's from SUNY Fredonia in Classical guitar studies and NCCC in music and continue cutting my teeth at great venues across WNY and NYC. I have been fortunate to have been recognized with WNY music Awards and university awards and scholarships. I started out and mainly still am an electric guitar player that is infatuated with playing improvisational music of all sorts. I have been fortunate enough to be a working musician and to have been hired/given the chance to play with many working bands and musicians that I both have respect for and have learned a great deal from On top of loving to have musical conversations with great band members I have been enjoying playing solo guitar and writing pieces for it. My goal musically is to have my self and the musicians on stage create music that stirs up our emotions and gives us the chills so we can pass them on.
