Hi, I’m Keith & I play guitar for a living.

My background is in rock, jazz, country and just about every style. When I was 10 years old, I became obsessed with Jimi Hendrix. A few years later, my dad took me to see Yes. Getting into Yes’s guitarist Steve Howe led me to discovering Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Chet Atkins and the lineage of all the guitar greats.

I took lessons in high school from the late great Vic Juris. This led me to attend William Paterson University from 2008 to 2012 as part of their world-famous Jazz Performance program. I was one of only two guitarists selected from around the world and I graduated with high honors.

On a very personal note, I’m constantly striving to foster a place and a teaching style that people love and make them feel personal growth. It makes me so happy to say that I consider most of my students to be not just clients, but friends.

I look forward to teaching you very soon!
