I see this and other questions about me asked a lot, so I decided to put together a short Q&A about who I am and what I do.
I’m a professional guitar instructor with over 30 years of experience teaching guitar. I got my start teaching private lessons, then went on to teach guitar at a variety of levels, as a resident guitar instructor at Schmitt Music in Fargo, as an instructor at Red River Valley Montessori school, as guitar instructor at Elevate Rock School in Fargo, North Dakota, and as a Professor of Modern Guitar at North Dakota State University. I currently reside in Kindred, North Dakota with my wife and 2 kids.
For the past 15 years, I have been the face of GuitarZoom.com, a guitar lesson website founded by Dan Denley, known for its high-quality guitar lessons covering a wide range of topics and skill levels, from “raw-rookie” to seasoned pro.
CHECK GUITARZOOMI have toured the world playing guitar for bands like Dozer and GrimmStine, which is a band I founded with Grim Reaper frontman Steve Grimmett. I have also co-written songs with artists like Rick Springfield, Brian May of Queen, Julian Lennon, Benjamin Orr, and others
