I'm a classical guitarist living in Kentucky. I've played in public a lot and paid my way through college with money from playing weddings.

I started music lessons in 3rd grade with trumpet. I began playing guitar in the summer between my 10th and 11th grade years at school. I graduated from Kentucky Wesleyan College in 1991 with a Bachelor of Music degree in performance. An injury kept me from moving further and I didn't pick the instrument up again until 2007. I've taught at the college on and off for years.

I've performed many times. I played for Kentucky Governor Wallace Wilkinson at the Governor's mansion in Frankfort as a student and I've played in numerous recitals and churches.

My biggest influences are Andres Segovia, Julian Bream, Carles Trepat, Andrew York, Liona Boyd, and Maximo Diego Pujol.

I own three instruments: a Ramirez, a 2015 Don Boarman, and my prized guitar "Lady" built by the luthier Richard Reynoso.
