| Musical Influences |
As I write this profile, these artists are cued up on my audio player: Frederick Noad, Kasse Mady Diabate, Mister Vague, Artie Shaw, Ben Folds Five, Cursive, Chris Isaak, R. Carlos Nakai, Cranberries, Rolling Stones, Duke Ellignton, Jim Croce, Van Morrison, Felix Mendelssohn, Johnny Cash, Genesis, Dan Bern, Eagles, Miles Davis, Janis Joplin, Dire Straits, Beach Boys, and Otis Redding. This probably constitutes a reasonable sample of my listening. I like to keep an open mind about musical influences. |
| History of Performer / Band |
During high school I studied jazz guitar with John LaChappelle. Then, as an undergraduate at Washington State University, I studied classic guitar with James Reid and music composition with Charles Argersinger. At the University of Nevada – Reno, I studied classic guitar with Ed Corey while completing my Master’s in Education and my K-12 Music Educator’s License. |

I usually do a production run of one on the home studio. If you are interested in a recording, let me know. |

I’m currently postponing my public school career in favor of full-time fatherhood, and private guitar instruction. If you are interested in music lessons, please email or call. I can supply references from the University of Nevada and the Washoe County School District.
I also perform with A Simple Endeavor. If you play a lead instrument and are interested in soloing with us, contact me for the charts and we’ll book a gig.
