About

I am a short, bearded, left-handed classical guitarist that primarily performs modern music. I love playing solo, and I love playing chamber music even more. I am currently pursuing a Professional Studies Diploma from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where I also received my Master's degree, studying with David Tanenbaum. Got my Bachelor's degree at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
