Music, similar to solving a complex puzzle made up of countless intricate pieces  that fit together in unexpected ways, can be both challenging and rewarding.

Some pieces are theory, others are technique, and many are the emotions that fuel creativity. I’ve spent my life working through this musical puzzle, starting from a young age, guided by incredible teachers and professors who have helped me unlock passages of my musical journey. 

As your teacher, my mission will be to help you assemble your own musical experience. Whether it’s understanding theory, exploring composition, or performing with confidence, I’m here to help you put the pieces together and see the bigger picture. With the right approach and guidance, you can discover how each part of music connects and supports your creative voice.

As a musician I’ve been lucky enough to gig with many incredible artists around Boston, Los Angeles, and the Reno/Tahoe area. When I’m not working on music I enjoy trying new food spots, hanging out with my dogs, and attending sporting events.

My last meal on earth would definitely have to be any meal cooked by my mom or Mac and Cheese!
