Fun Facts
When I'm not playing music, you could probably find me at the beach with my surfboard, playing with my dog Buddy, or eating candy. One of my musical heroes, Miles Davis, once summed up how I feel about life in a simple statement, "to me, knowledge is happiness." I love spending long hours learning about my favorite artists and how music can impact people and the world.
About Me
I am 21 years old and a junior at Lewis and Clark College. I am a music performance major with a focus in jazz studies and music theory. I have been playing the drums since I was 8. In addition to the drums, I also play the guitar, bass and piano.
Experience
Although I am relatively new to formal teaching outside of friends and family, I have been a student for many years under some incredible teachers and mentors. Most notably are Johnny Byrne of the KC and the Sunshine Band, Charlie Doggett, and Dan Balmer from the Tom Grant Band.
Approach
I am determined to identify the needs of my students and cater to their learning style as my teachers have done for me. My goal is to share my knowledge and love for music with my students.
