My Story
After teaching in public schools for eight years, I made a shift to teaching and performing music full time. If you asked why, I'd tell a lot of push and pull stories, but ultimately the timing was right and amazing people showed up in my life. These people gave me the necessary support and courage to take the leap.
​
I play a mix of folk, fingerstyle, and jazz and draw inspiration from musicians and artists in other mediums including Jack Johnson, James Taylor, Will Ackerman, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Wolfgang Mozart (who isn't inspired by his music!), Charles Frazier (Writer of "Cold Mountain"), Don Ross, Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstien, the Reign of Kindo, and Andy Mckee.
