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.
Visit my blog for poems, album reviews, family
recipes, recycled thoughts, and Red Sox fanaticism.
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...
Audio coming soon!
