Music Objective
Music is my life. I grew up in an extremely musical home and it was around me as far back as I can remember. My father,
mother and brother all play multiple instruments and I decided when I was very young that I would make music my life in
some form. During college, I discovered how rewarding and important opportunities to teach, coach and help to improve lives
through music could be. I myself play at an Intermediate-Advanced level for guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums, vocals, and
arrangements for each individual instrument as well as several at once. The success I have had is a combination of many years
of training and my pure passion for improving lives through music. References are available upon request.
