"Mark came in to my life in a time in where I really needed it. I was already taking lessons with a teacher and stopped because the teacher didn’t really teach me anything that pertained to my interest. Mark was not able to reinvigorate my interest but help to me excel at guitar like I never thought before. I now am one of the most skilled musicians in my Jazz band and I truly have Mark to thank for that. Mark comes with a seriousness about the guitar that has helped him create a career for myself and many others.

Hey there! I am originally from the PNW in Oregon. I have accrued several instruments over the years since I joined the school band at age 10. I fell in love with the guitar at the age of 13 and spent my teen years learning my favorite songs on the instrument. By the time I was 17, I formed a rock band with friends where I took on the role of lead vocalist and rhythm guitar. I studied Audio Engineering at Lane Community College and applied the skills I learned to help produce/engineer his band's first record. He also recorded a solo LP where he sang, played all the instruments, and mixed the record himself. After years of musical experience, I entered the education field in 2021 while living in Portland, OR, and worked at Happy Valley Arts Academy. In pursuit of continuing a career in live music performance as well as education, I decided to take a leap and move to Nashville in July 2023. I have since played on Broadway, Zion Christian Ministries and local touring acts in the area. You can listen to some of my guitar playing through my band @ Silver Glass on all streaming platforms.
