I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. At 16, after receiving the Maestro Please Musicians Award in New York, I entered the Humber College Music program, acquiring a Bachelor of Arts in Jazz.​

After graduating, I continued working as a professional guitarist in Canada while teaching several guitar students.​

Moving to Tokyo, Japan in 2013 to complete my studies in Japanese, after graduating from ARC Academy Japanese School, and achieving N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, I am is happy to teach students in another language, as well as perform for new audiences at several of Tokyo's finest clubs.

I have taught guitar for nearly 20 years, and have taught hundreds of students, from the casual hobbyist, to the aspiring professional.​

With my experience as a working international musician, I like to tap into my student's potential to find the perfect balance of structure and freedom.

Feel free to contact me for a free 30 minute trial lesson-consultation so we can start working on your guitar goals today.  

​​​I look forward to meeting you and working with you!
