About Me

I graduated from Mansfield University with a degree in Music Electives in Business and I studied classical guitar with Pablo Cohen from Ithaca College. I play electric, acoustic, classical guitar, mandolin and bass. I enjoy writing original music and working on improving my home recording studio.
Recently I have been playing guitar for shows with the Barley Sheaf Players in Lionville. A few shows I've played in are The Rocky Horror Show, Anything Goes and Curtains. I have also performed with the Brandywine Singers, Steppin' Razor and Giant Whistle from West Chester, PA.

I am available to play for weddings, special events and private lessons. Please email me for more information.
