My Instruments/gear:

*Martin D-1GT with an Anthem SL installed
*Breedlove C250-CME

Favorite Artists/Bands: I am a big Luke Bryan fan (his song "Drink a beer" really hit home for me). KT Tunstall is also another favorite. I am eclectic though, so my IPod is loaded with everything from classical to rock to blues to country.

Favorite style(s) to play: I have enjoyed playing everything I have learned so far, with Moon River being my favorite piece so far. My interests moving forward right now are fingerstyle and blues. Combining the two is the ultimate goal!
