Private Lessons & Coaches in Pinellas Park, FL

Finding my love for music at a young age, I started to play guitar at the age of 6. Quickly beginning private lessons, I studied classical, rock, and blues early in my journey, practicing up to 8 hours a day as a child. Eventually, while continuing guitar lessons, I taught myself to record and engineer productions for songwriting purposes. Late in high school, I began to teach groups of children from kindergarten up until 4th grade, and even taught private lessons to beginner children. In 2017, I was accepted to Berklee College of Music after auditioning on guitar. While there, I recorded guest solos for various artists, recorded in a multi-million dollar Berklee studio with my band, and, although delayed by the pandemic and other reasons, recently graduated in May with Honors. Since last year, I also auditioned for and joined the metal band, FROGG, and we have since recorded and released our debut album, Eclipse, which has sold out all physical copies and was met with positive reviews from critics.

With over two decades immersed in the game, I bring a championship mindset and a deep commitment to developing both the skill and character of every athlete I coach. As a proud Michigan State University alumnus, I contributed to three championship-winning teams and played a pivotal role in our memorable College Football Playoff appearance. These experiences have shaped my approach—blending elite-level training with a focus on teamwork, resilience, and personal growth. My coaching philosophy centers on unlocking each athlete’s potential, fostering a culture of accountability, and building a genuine love for the game. Whether working with individuals or teams, I tailor my training to meet unique goals, always striving to inspire the next generation of champions on and off the field.

There, I earned my BM and MM degrees in Piano Performance with a minor in organ, shaping my profound understanding of classical music. Over the years, I've honed my skills in chamber music and music theatre, amassing 26 years of experience accompanying and coaching singers, as well as a decade in ballet dance accompaniment.
