My name is Steve, and I am a musician and audio engineer living in Nashville, TN. I grew up in Kalamazoo and started playing guitar as a teenager around the same time I started attending Threads Church. I quickly realized my gift of music, but I also realized my need to nurture and grow that gift. Willis was the first teacher I had, and he set an outstanding example of musicianship and passion for me to follow. I have met very few people with such a desire to see a student succeed. I am fortunate enough to be following my dream, and without the help of Willis it would never have been possible.
