I received my training at The Mannes College of Music in New York City. Studies were conducted with the late Albert Valdes-Blain, renowned classical guitarist and gifted educator, and one-time pupil of the Master -- Andrés Segovia. I participated in a year-long series of master classes with recording artist and concert guitarist Eliot Fisk.

I have performed classical guitar and lute for many years. I played popular music styles in both live performance and in the recording studio also.
