Creative Music & Arts Instructor | Multi-Instrumentalist | Music Producer
About Me
I'm a dynamic music artist, producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with a passion for sparking creativity in others. As a non-traditional teacher, I make learning guitar, piano, composition, and songwriting fun and accessible for adults and kids alike. My approach is simple: if you enjoy the process, you learn faster. I get students playing and creating early, building confidence and excitement from the start.
Beyond music, I bring years of teaching experience in martial arts, basic computer skills, and security officer training. My diverse background informs my ability to connect with students of all ages and inspire them to reach their goals. One of my life mottos is: To be inspired is great, but to inspire others is awesome.
My Music Journey
Music has been my life since I was a teenager. At ages 16 and 17, I became the drummer for an adult country-western band, and for a country gospel group, touring across Missouri. Today, I perform as a solo artist with three singles and an EP to my name. I hold an Associate of Applied Science in Music Production from Full Sail University, where I graduated as Valedictorian and earned membership in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS).
My long-term vision is to launch a full-service music production company, offering recording, production, and live performance opportunities to aspiring artists. I'm committed to mentoring others in music, helping them chase their dreams, and inspiring them to create fearlessly.
