Certified Tutor

Effective mentorship is one of the most important things a person needs to succeed. I grew up with lousy guidance. Most of the people who were leading me did a poor job.

When I was in my mid-teens, I made a commitment to finding something better. That was about ten years ago, Since then, I have been learning from some of the best teachers in the subjects that are important to me: music, real estate, investing in companies, psychology, relationships, and more.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies at Miami University in Oxford, OH. I will complete an MBA program when I find more time in my schedule.

I mainly teach guitar. Physics was a topic that I enjoyed very much in college. I did well in it. If you need a physics teacher, reach out to me. I will look at what you are learning and determine if I'm the right tutor for you.

If you are here to learn guitar, I know that I can teach you something, no matter what your skill level is. If you are at a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level, there is something I can teach you. I know you will learn something that will help you move forward faster and with less confusion.

I talk more about what I like to do in the Interests/Hobbies section. It all is in my life for one reason: to support my music goals.

I will close by talking more about two things:
(1) the importance of having the right teachers and
(2) why I am driven to help students.

After having poor leadership and then finding some of the best leaders in the world, I know as much as anyone just how important it is to have good teachers!

Since I know how frustrating it is to feel lost, I am very motivated to be the best teacher I can be. I will not allow any of my students to feel lost. I know the pain of that feeling!

As long as you take your own success seriously, I will hold your hand throughout the process and make sure that you succeed in getting to the next level. Show up for your own success, and I will do everything I can to help you get there.

Hobbies

The most interesting thing in the world to me is music. Playing guitar is my top hobby. Music is at the center of my life. Everything I do revolves around it. I don't have a "balanced life" and I'm not interested in one. I just want to accomplish my goals, no matter how hard the work is. Another thing I enjoy is helping people to organize their lives. If you need help with some structure, I can teach you how to organize your life around what is most important to you. Don't know what you value? I'm also very good at helping people to find what it is that they really care about! Anyway, as I was saying, everything I do is in support of music. I live in Las Vegas and I enjoy going out to parties with my buddies here. That social aspect supports guitar. I go out and have fun with people, and then get back to my music work feeling refreshed. Sometimes my buddies and I work out together. I enjoy lifting weights and running. My relationship with my girlfriend supports my music. I get paid to teach music, which supports it. I have been making videos for my new YouTube channel, which I do to support my business. I could go on, but you get the point. Is my life balanced? No. I don't do many different things. I'm focused on only a few things. I've been successful by doing this, and there is a lot more winning to come. Winning for myself, for my friends, for my family, and for my students. If you work with me, you will be challenged. You are also going to progress A LOT and have a lot of fun doing it.
