About Me

As long as I can remember I've loved fingerstyle and classical guitar. I'm lucky enough to make my living solely through my instrument.

I studied classical guitar at the University of New Hampshire under the guidance of Professor Chris Kane, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2001.

I currently live and teach in Dover, New Hampshire, the town I have grown to love over the years.

Come talk to me if you see me online.

A Bittersweet Mixture of Victory and Defeat

Well, I worked my tail off this week and have little to show for it.  I recorded O Sole Mio a bunch of times and have yet to come up with a usable track.  After working out some kinks I got the Interm...
