Dave started playing the guitar when he was about 12 and hasn't stopped since. In 2006, he received his BA in Jazz performance, but loves to play and teach virtually everything including bass, mandolin, ukulele and piano. Over the years he's played in countless bands for a variety of genres both in Massachusetts, Colorado and beyond including as a showband musician for Carnival Cruise Lines as well as in numerous theater productions for such companies as Berkshire Theater Group and Barrington Stage Company.
As far as teaching goes, he started back in 2001 thinking it would be a great way to earn some spending money in college, little did he know it would end up being his career. Since then, he's taught both private and group lessons. Dave has also taught many different places including locally for the Berkshire Music school, Wood Bros Music and as adjunct faculty for BCC as well as for Jamplay.com and running Flipside School of Music in Denver.
Currently he resides in Western Mass where he performs with various local and regional groups and teaches out of his private studio for both local and remote lessons.
