Papillion,Nebraska

Summary

I'm 23 years old and I've been playing guitar for 14 years. In these 14 years I have honed many advanced guitar skills that have allowed me to work in a career of teaching the instrument as a full time job. I have such an immense love for music and the instrument and I practice for roughly 7 hours a day. It's been my goal since I was a kid to play guitar in a band and be able to make a living performing music live and traveling the world, and I believe I have the skills to do that for you. I've been performing on stage for over 10 years now as well, which I think is such a valuable skill I've had a lot of time to work on. I think my strongest assets are my high level of guitar playing, stage presence and performance driven mindset, my ability to learn both fast and efficiently, and how easy I am to work with as a person. Smashing Pumpkins has been such an influence on my journey in music and guitar, so even to have the opportunity to apply means the world to me. I promise if I were to even make it to the next round of auditions, I will not disappoint you.

Guitar, Bass, Drum, and Trombone Instructor

Gretna Music Lessons

As a music teacher, I have taken my experiences of music throughout my life and organized lessons to help assist in the musical growth of my 40+ students. I have taken students from complete beginner to well versed advanced musicians within the span of a couple years. I pride myself in making these instruments fun, and keeping lessons not frightening or stressful, and I have seen great results due to this. I teach students of any age group and skill level, whether that be complete beginner or extremely advanced veteran.

I'm the Lead Guitarist and founding member of my band, Fox Paw. We play high energy Pop Punk in Omaha, Nebraska. We have been nominated for an Omaha Entertainment and Art award in 2022 for Best New Artist. We put on super energetic shows that often sell out in the area. In the band, I am known for my song writing, as I serve as the leading song writer, as well as my attention to detail for our stage show, making sure that we put on an entertaining show that even a person hard of hearing could enjoy. I also work extremely hard behind the scenes with the business aspect of the band, often booking our shows and organizing promotion for shows and song releases. I also run the bands Facebook page.
