Welcome! I am a bass player, teacher and songwriter/composer...

...and I'd love the opportunity to help you learn how to play bass! Yes there are more resources today than ever to learn, but there's no substitute for having a person there with you to listen and see what you're doing, correct when necessary and inspire at every chance. I'll do my best to tailor instruction to you.
I have been playing bass, composing songs and making music with a variety of instruments for more than 20+ years. I've performed in rock/pop bands, jazz ensemble, concert band, worship and studio settings, here and overseas. My original music has been played on CBS, MTV, HBO, Showtime, Lifetime and Fox Sports in the U.S. and Europe. Developing a love of music at an early age (see Exhibit A and Exhibit B), my musical roots trace through my family, which includes music teachers, band and choir directors and performing musicians. Today, I work with songwriters, lyricists, instrumentalists and vocalists and enjoy creating and hearing many kinds of music. Rock, pop, punk, funk, jazz, fusion, country, reggae... you name it!
