I have been performing and recording music within the Mid-Atlantic region for the past 24 years. At home in traditional recording studio environments, I enjoy working with singer-songwriters and a broad range of genres and collaborators. My research interests include topics in ear training and music production. I have published papers on the topics of music proficiency in sound recording technology programs, cloud-based music production, and technical ear training.  

Among my various research and teaching interests related to the guitar, collaborative and interdisciplinary work in premiering new works, chamber music, Music Therapy, kinesthetics in instrumental performance, and the art of practice most recently occupy my attention. 

My interests are in arts marketing, leadership in the arts, artistic programming and strategic planning for arts institutions.
