I’m a guitarist, touring musician, and instructor. I am a Master of Music candidate at the Lamont School of Music, University of Denver. I hold a BFA in music performance, with an emphasis in guitar, from New Mexico Highlands University, as well as a BA in English Literature from Lewis & Clark College.
I started playing guitar at the age of 9 after hearing the music of Faith No More and Metallica, so my formative years were spent learning all the best thrash metal and grunge riffs until I attended Berklee College of Music and later Lewis & Clark College where I developed a sense for melody, composition, and technique through the study of Jazz and Classical. During the 2020-2021 Coronavirus pandemic I returned home to New Mexico and completed my BFA studies at NMHU while applying to graduate programs for Classical Guitar Performance.
You can find me on stages in Colorado and around the country as the Vocalist and Guitarist for the Gothic Rock outfit Corpse Paint and lead guitarist for Massacre Records Symphonic Metal artists Thy Shade ( https://www.facebook.com/thyshadeofficial/ ).
I am always busy with recording projects, a full teaching schedule, and rehearsals as all my projects gear up for album releases and performances.
I am interested and available for the right opportunity to play guitar! To inquire about session work, live performances, Skype lessons or private lessons please fill out the contact form below
