Having spent my entire life playing music, I am thrilled to say that my love for music has transformed into a fulfilling career. Over the past decade, I have embarked on extensive concert tours across the United States and Canada alongside distinguished artists such as The Wind and The Wave (Island Records), Dagny (Republic Records), and Air Dubai (Hopeless Records). Furthermore, I have recorded with Grammy-winning producers and featured my compositions on different platforms such as MTV, VH1, ESPN, TNT, and major motion pictures. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado majoring in Jazz Studies in 2012.
As an instructor, I take into account the unique characteristics of each student. I revise my teaching methodology to suit the individual needs and aspirations of the learner as a musician. My broad spectrum of musical exposure enables me to impart real-life experiences to any genre of student interest. I promote a relaxed and enjoyable learning atmosphere where students progress at their own pace.

Nick is an amazing teacher who is extremely patient with me even though I consider myself a slow learner. He takes the time to explain everything in detail and tailors his teaching approach to suit my learning style. In addition, he provides me with helpful resources and tools to practice with outside of our lessons and makes the most of our lesson time together. Nick also takes the time to discuss my personal goals with me, and I'm confident that I will achieve them soon. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Nick as a teacher.

I have made remarkable progress in just one month of lessons! Nick ensures that learning the basics seems enjoyable and provides simple practice exercises to work on at home. I strongly recommend Nick to both skilled and novice drummers, myself being the latter.

After I inquired about lessons, Nick promptly replied, and we arranged a session within a day. During the lesson, he displayed a great deal of expertise and tailored it to my beginner level, with an enjoyable and non-repetitive approach. I eagerly anticipate our next encounter and highly endorse Nick!
