I have been playing guitar since I was 14. After several years of private study with jazz guitarist Francesco Mazzeo and technical training with Maestro Francesco Fareri, I completed the three-year pre-academic jazz program at Saint Louis College of Music. I then transferred permanently to the composition department, where I earned my bachelor’s degree with honors, and subsequently earned a master’s degree in composition from the Ottorino Respighi Conservatory. My love for music—and composition in particular—drives me to engage in continuous personal study, as I never lose interest in this vast, varied, and fascinating subject. I've worked on several short films and teach regurarly to my students.
