professional piano and keyboard player

Objective

My goal is to impart students with all my knowledge and love for music. Furthermore, I desire to continue my professional development, to continue learning. In addition, I love playing music, be it Rock N’Roll or any genre. If I’m not helping around the house or spending time with my daughter and my wife, I am most likely to be found at the piano or keyboard.
