About Me

I am a guitar player from Memphis, TN. Working with the band The City Champs, and whoever else will hire me. Graduated in 2002 from the New School Jazz and Contemporary Music Program where I studied with Jack Wilkins, Junior Mance, Cecil Bridgewater, and Phil Markowitz. I have my own teaching studio here in Memphis at Studio 708 so if you want lessons hit me up. Recently completed the City Champs first record at Scott Bomars Electrophonic Studios where I played guitar and contributed 7 original compostions.
