I am 19 years old and music is not only my passion but also my life. Ever since I was young I have wanted to be a musician, I have loved music since the day I was born and will love it until the day I die. I'm a guitarist and it saved my life when I was younger, I wasn't a bad kid, but I looked up to the trouble makers as the cool kids, that is until I picked up my first guitar. That guitar changed my life and set me on the right track, instead of looking up to gang members and thugs like 50 cent and Tupac, I started looking up to Zack Wylde, Slash, Tom Morello, Dan Jacobs, and Synyster Gates. (Brian Haner Jr.) I am fun, relaxed, patient, and understanding. I will teach my students what they need to know in order to become the next Eric Johnson or Joe Satriani, I would love nothing more than to make an impact on anybody's life whether it be child or adult because we never stop having role models and it is never too late to be a guitarist! I taught myself how to play guitar at age 16 and still practice daily at age 19. I have given lessons for about a year, and have worked out a system of warm-ups, simple but effective riffs, and practices to help mold tomorrows guitar gods. Formal Education: I have had no musical education but I am well able to teach. Performing Experience: I have performed with and along side of bands such as, Killer Of The Rise, BackDrop Massacre, NumbM1nded, Panic Over War, and Place Without Doubt. I have been performing for 2 years. Experience Teaching: 1 year, 3 students
