I'm a graduate of the University of Washington Jazz Studies program and an all around lover of music. I've been studying drumset, guitar, bass, and piano for about 18 years and have spent the past 8 teaching and performing full time. In general I like to keep lessons fun and relaxed but still progress oriented. Practicing or playing music should never be a chore, but we all want to get better. I love mostly rock and jazz, although there are great musicians to be found in every genre. There isn't much to my life outside of music, but in the off-chance that you see me without an instrument nearby, I'm probably relaxing somewhere outdoors or working on my house.
