The 23rd Annual Radford University International Guitar Festival brings internationally noted guitarist performers to the sonic splendor of the campus of Radford University.

The International Guitar Festival has consistently drawn an audience to the New River Valley from Northern Virginia as well as beyond the borders of the Commonwealth of Virginia, including Maryland, North Carolina and as far north as New York State.

On top of all this, he dedicated himself to the guitar carrying out his training at the "Claudio Abbado" Civic School of Music. In 1995 he graduated from the Conservatory and went on to specialize in the interpretation of 19th century music paying close attention to matters of performance practice and is an esteemed interpreter of Classical and Romantic period sources utilizing period guitars.

He has taken part in master classes with David Russell, Ahmet Kanneci and Javier Garcia, among others.
