"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!!

"Mark came in to my life in a time in where I really needed it. I was already taking lessons with a teacher and stopped because the teacher didn’t really teach me anything that pertained to my interest. Mark was not able to reinvigorate my interest but help to me excel at guitar like I never thought before. I now am one of the most skilled musicians in my Jazz band and I truly have Mark to thank for that. Mark comes with a seriousness about the guitar that has helped him create a career for myself and many others.
