"Great with my grandson, first lesson.

Hi! I’m a classically trained musician with over 15 years of piano experience and a doctoral student in clarinet performance at the university. I’ve been teaching piano for 2–3 years, working with children, adult beginners, and hobbyists. My lessons are patient, encouraging, and tailored to each student. I focus on building strong foundations, developing good practice habits, and exploring classical repertoire in a fun, goal-oriented way. Let’s enjoy the music-making journey together!

Pickleball has transformed my life, bringing me immense joy, fun, and connection. Now, I'm passionate about sharing the incredible benefits of this sport with others.

As a dedicated Music Production Coach with over 14 years of experience, I empower aspiring artists and producers to transform their ideas into polished tracks. My passion lies in demystifying the world of sound, making complex concepts accessible, fun, and deeply engaging. My journey includes managing a studio at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center in North Minneapolis, where I had the privilege of teaching music production to inner-city youth, an experience that deepened my commitment to fostering creativity and providing hands-on skills to the next generation of music makers. Additionally, I bring extensive real-world expertise from the nightlife scene, having served as a Sound and Lighting Manager and Resident DJ at prominent Minneapolis venues. This background honed my understanding of audio optimization, live sound engineering, and the art of curating immersive sonic experiences, providing me with invaluable skills for teaching students how to produce, mix, and master their unique sound.

"This music production class is a hidden gem! Whether you're just starting or looking to refine advanced techniques, the instruction is top-notch. The option to learn on BandLab for beginners, or dive deep into Ableton Live, shows great flexibility. The coffee shop location creates a comfortable, inspiring atmosphere that fosters creativity. Rickey and is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about teaching. I always leave feeling more confident and creatively charged. Highly recommend!"

I'm a lifelong musician and music lover who started playing cello in 1977. My background includes classical training and performances, as well as rock bands, arranging popular songs for solo and band shows, and writing my own parts for original music. I also write and produce music in Reaper, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. I enjoy helping students learn to arrange and play music that inspires them, and I include appropriate music theory, ear training, and analysis in the lessons.

I am a dedicated racquet sports enthusiast, with a special passion for pickleball. As a PPR certified coach and participant in PPA tournaments, I bring both expertise and competitive experience to the court. Every Sunday, I compete in mini tournaments with a prominent pickleball group in the Twin Cities, achieving multiple victories. With a commitment to teaching players of all skill levels, I aim to share my love for the game and foster growth in the pickleball community.

"Amazing learning to get started with Pickelball

With two decades on the tennis court, I've successfully transitioned my passion to pickleball. I now specialize in launching beginners and helping tennis players quickly translate their skills. I also host fun, dynamic group clinics for those ready to learn the game.

Teeing up your first golf ball can be daunting, but with 10 years of competivive golf, I learned it wont go away because of the passion for it . Golf is a mental game just as physical if not more. I have had fews teachers but I was more sucsseful learning it on my own. Sitting at a +2 HC i have seen many different swings and all can find a way to work. Golf is a really fun sport that can bring a group together for a lifetime. Lets teach you in a fun manor to help you enjoy the process of getting better. Because it really does take time:)

I've cultivated a passion for football and track & field, empowering athletes to unlock their potential on the field. With a focus on skill refinement and strategic thinking, I tailor each session to individual needs. Join me to elevate your game.
