"I’ve been playing guitar since I was one year old and started performing at five. By fifteen, I was playing in Nashville. Since then, I’ve been teaching, performing, and recording as much as possible. I've performed thousands of gigs, have 150k+ streams on Spotify, and love playing most types of music. I attended ASU, AIMM, and Columbia. While there, I was first chair and headlined the graduation concert at AIMM. After that, I won Best Blues Band of Savannah and currently endorse Curt Mangan Strings with my own signature set.

I've had some incredible teachers including Jack Sherman, Dave Martone, a Cherokee medicine man and a friend who met Robert Johnson. I also helped produce a biography on Durham, NC blues.

One of my proudest moments was seeing one of my students win a Grammy and perform at the Super Bowl. I really enjoy seeing my students improve and achieve their goals. I hope to have more Grammy winners in the future." less...
