Born and raised in Pittsburgh I've been playing the drums for 13 years and gigging from a young age. Music is a deeply personal exploration that will take everyone on a different journey. As a former sunburst student, I learned that the enthusiasm of an instructor can make all the difference. I am dedicated to helping students grow and achieve their musical goals in whatever way is best for them, and I am excited by new opportunities to teach!
