About me:
My guitar students are definitely the most awesome guitar students in the world! I can't believe how great it is to watch young people pick up an instrument they've never played before and grow into great musicians! I totally love teaching. Guitar and music in general are my passions. Every time I pick up the guitar it's still as fun as it was the first day I started playing it. Nothing is better than being in front of a crowd of people who love music and watching them having a great time. Each time I perform I hope that I'm making people feel as good about music as I feel when I hear music. When I'm not playing guitar look for me hiking in the Finger Lakes and biking all over the City of Rochester. If I'm not playing guitar, and I'm not enjoying the great outdoors, then I'm probably at the gym or listening to NPR.
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people who are as crazy about music as I am, and who like having a good conversation. Do you like music? You're my kind of person! Like good conversation? Send me a message!

You're a champ, boss! Nice job blocking the assailant with your face! You certainly don't want to jeopardize your hands, guitar-man! Seriously though, I'm glad it wasn't worse.
