About Me

Began my musical journey on the drums (I still play to this day). Next was three years of saxophone, both alto and tenor. Once I discovered Kiss and Black Sabbath, guitar became my main focus. Guitar studies were forged alone throughout high school when I discovered Randy Rhoads and Ritchie Blackmore. My first teacher was Dave Noriega. Deeper studies occured alone after high school for a few years, and pre-college studies with Nick Russo. Serious guitar study occured during college with Don Saginario, and jazz studies with Michael Belajonis during both A.A.S. and B.A. degrees. I then continued with renowned classical guitarist and lutenist Jerry Willard, earning a BA in Music and a MA in Guitar Performance, at S.U.N.Y. at Stony Brook.I've been playing guitar for over 28 years. Been an active teacher for 18 years, having taught hundreds of lessons. About to launch my new music education service....New Year Music. Currently completing my new solo acoustic CD "Songs From Blydenburg Park and Beyond: The Acoustic Cuts"
