Former college basketball player and USA Basketball certified coach who has been working with athletes for over ten years, emphasizing the FUNdamentals of sports. I design practices that enhance decision-making, perception, and creativity under pressure. Training goes beyond drills and mechanics to develop athletes who can read the game and perform when it matters most.
"Coach Neal is awesome. He broke down the skills into small pieces so that my 8 year-old son wouldn't get frustrated. After only 1 hour my son showed a great improvement, and when he went to basketball practice later in the week he had increased confidence, was getting shots into the basket, was passing with his teammates, and was very happy. Coach Neil is worth every penny.

I have taught and coached: Computer Science, Physics and Math after a career as an engineer and manager. Regardless of skill level, I believe in meeting students where they are, diagnosing their strengths and weaknesses and helping get them to progress. Because of my many engineering projects I can almost always have a specific example to answer the question, "When will I use this?".

Ryan was raised in a musical household and began taking lessons from the time he was able to wrap his hands around a guitar neck. He is well versed in a variety of genres and styles including Rock, Jazz, Blues and Americana. He works with students of all ages and levels of experience and tailors lessons to the individual (no one size fits all approach). Beginning students start with simple melodies and basic chord forms. Advanced players develop theory, harmony, composition, improvisation.
"Have been taking lessons for a few months and have made great progress. Ryan quickly understood how I learn and adapted his teachings to meet me where I'm at in my guitar journey. Would highly recommend for any level of playing
