ATTENTION Snohomish and Lake Stevens Parents; Does your child express interest in learning a modern musical instrument such as guitar, bass, drums, piano, ukulele or singing?! Have they already begun taking lessons and don’t seem to connect with the private instruction experience? Truth is, not all students learn by being individually taught an instrument. Many actually learn best in a collaborative setting by playing and performing with other students! That is why I’ve created a program called Varsity Rock! Where students from ages 10 and up can explore and discover their musical passion in a modern group band setting. Similar to the “School of Rock” format, Varsity Rock is a music school that focuses on learning through collaboration, improvisation and fun! If this is something that may interest you or your child. Please inquire by commenting below for more information or visit the Varsity Rock Music School Facebook page at the link below to send me a message. Now Enrolling students for Spring 2020! https://www.facebook.com/Varsity-Rock-Music-School-108057507464966/ (at Snohomish, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Ro6JpgtML/?igshid=ee9kkkggpnun

When the wife asks, “why didn’t you put the toaster away after you made your waffle last night!?” 😒😕 My #womencrushwednesday Everyday is so tolerant of all my corks. She is caring in all the best ways. She is strong in an almost scary kinda way. Yet, incredibly inspirational and I am often envious of her drive, passion and determination. She is intelligent, hard-working, empathetic and god damn gorgeous inside and out. In short, I would let her kick my butt any day of the week if it means making her happy. Also, sometimes I deserve it! Hah! Check out our new music video where she really lets me have it!

Finally got some brand new ink to kick off the rest of my sleeve. Thanks @nickharttattoo ! I love it!
