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 play with an old-time band called the Varnish Cooks and am a music director
at Artisan Church where I lead resident
gospel-rock band The Magic Jesus Bus. I am also
available for hire as a performer, and occasionally I
perform at local venues or the Eastman School of Music
where I am a graduate student. More info on performances...
