History
As a bachelor's student and scholarship winner at UCLA the faculty office would send all the requests for guitar teacher to me. Professor Peter Yates encouraged me to continue teaching guitar and to learn all styles as well as composition, recording techniques, and use my natural ability to teach and communicate my love of guitar and music to inspire new students.
