Welcome! I am a musician and music teacher in Rochester, NY. Read my third-person autobiography for details.

You have music in you! It is my job to draw it out. I offer private lessons on 5-string banjo, guitar, and mandolin. For more information about my teaching method visit the private lessons page.

I collaborate with Greg Fair (Varnish Cooks and other projects), Aaron Maras, and currently play with Kate Lee and No Strings Attached. I am a music director at Artisan Church where I lead resident gospel-rock band The Magic Jesus Bus. More info on performances...
