Core Competencies
Guitar Player
Magazine chose me to compete as one of the contestants in the 2008
Guitar Superstar Competition at the Great American Music Hal in San
Francisco.
Soon after I embarked on a tour of India and Nepal, conducting guitar
master-classes, and performing at various venues including Patan Palace
and Garden of Dreams. There the U.S. Department of State presented my
trio with an award for "Bridging the cultural gap to Nepal."

Another tour of India was to follow. We were to
perform at Blue Frog and conduct a guitar workshop at Guitar Hall in Mumbai,
however the terrorist attacks interfered with our plans.
