Discovery Session

About Me

I discovered my love for guitar at the age of eleven and played in a band throughout high school and college. While I almost majored in music, I ultimately chose a different path, earning a degree in biochemistry and molecular biology. For decades, my passion for music took a backseat to a demanding corporate career. It wasn't until a road trip with my wife that my love for playing was rekindled. Inspired by this newfound spark, I began attending open mics and dedicated myself to daily practice.

When the pandemic hit, I made the bold decision to leave the corporate world and fully embrace music, performing over 100 shows in a single year. During lockdown, I taught myself drums and worked to improve my piano skills, reigniting my lifelong connection to music. While performing was an incredible experience, the lifestyle and long hours started to compete with my home life. That's when I shifted my focus to teaching, starting with guitar, and then adding drums and piano lessons locally.

I still love performing and can be found at the Ruby Bar every third Friday from 7–9pm. It's a fantastic place unlike anything else in Round Rock. Come see me!
