"I’m just an old guy who wanted to play some fun songs by the campfire. I knew Kevin had been playing for years and done some pretty cool stuff with it. So I hit him up and wasn’t disappointed. I play old classic rock and country stuff, and Kevin guided me to allow me to just look up the chords and actually understand what I’m looking at. Now I play every weekend at camp and I feel like a rockstar. Thanks Kevin!!

Hey there! I am originally from the PNW in Oregon. I have accrued several instruments over the years since I joined the school band at age 10. I fell in love with the guitar at the age of 13 and spent my teen years learning my favorite songs on the instrument. By the time I was 17, I formed a rock band with friends where I took on the role of lead vocalist and rhythm guitar. I studied Audio Engineering at Lane Community College and applied the skills I learned to help produce/engineer his band's first record. He also recorded a solo LP where he sang, played all the instruments, and mixed the record himself. After years of musical experience, I entered the education field in 2021 while living in Portland, OR, and worked at Happy Valley Arts Academy. In pursuit of continuing a career in live music performance as well as education, I decided to take a leap and move to Nashville in July 2023. I have since played on Broadway, Zion Christian Ministries and local touring acts in the area. You can listen to some of my guitar playing through my band @ Silver Glass on all streaming platforms.
