After a
brief taste
of piano lessons during early childhood, my interest in music went
undeveloped until encountering the guitar heroics of bands such as Led
Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. I picked up a few instruments and
have gone through various creative phases, along the way completing
degrees in guitar performance at the Peabody
Conservatory of Music and Florida
State University.
Today I perform regularly on guitar, lute and oud, both solo and as Associate Director of the New Orleans Musica da Camera, and I also do a bit of composing and arranging. I am also on the faculty of Loyola University of the South. Here are a few examples of my guitar work:
