My Guitars
I have a number of guitars, about one for each month of the year. However my favorites are:
- 1999 Martin D-28
- 2001 Tacoma DF-21
- 2000 Fender Telecaster
Education
I am primarily self-taught but I must give thanks to a few teachers I had over the years.
- Jimmy Dale (James W. Dale) Undoubtedly the best Jazz guitar player I personally know. An amazing luthier as well.

- Drew Nichols, I took a few months of lessons from Drew before he moved to Dallas and eventually joined up with the Graham Colton Band. It's great to see how successful he has become. Opening for bands like Counting Crows, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, etc. I hope his newest effort with Becky Bliss continues the success.
