As a guitarist, composer, producer and music educator, I have had the privilege to work with many talented musicians from all styles of music. I have worked in numerous musical settings; from world tours, studio sessions, live gigs, all star jams, television, film, jingles, concerts, etc...

I was also a spokesperson/clinician for Gibson Guitar Corporation for 12 years. During that time I traveled the globe to over 30 countries performing and teaching in music stores, clubs, colleges, universities, music schools, elementary, junior and high schools all over the world.

I also own That's Great Music. TGM creates and sells branded promotional music CDs to companies to use as a promotional piece, launch new products, or to say thanks to their clients. We feature relaxation CDs, Jazz Instrumental CDs and Christmas/Holiday music CDs.

Currently, I am working with some extremely talented Nashville musicians on my 2nd contemporary jazz CD which is due to be released in early 2011.

As a guitarist, producer and music educator, I always try to bring a positive and a fresh innovative approach to everything I do. I play electric guitar, 12-string, nylon string and acoustic guitar...
