The Drum Pro, LLC

I am a versatile drummer in gospel, funk, soul, jazz/rock fusion, R&B, Latin, country & praise & worship. I have recorded, toured in the Northwest, played with a variety of bands (rock, folk, blues, pop & alternative) and played with many talented worship leaders like Duff Rowden and Kyle Rasmussen. I have played in 11 countries & across the United States. One of my gifts is to take my years of experience and share it with the next generation. Parents and students appreciate my patience with learning students as well as my thoroughness as an instructor. I have taught as many as 24 students a week and worked with many musicians in local worship workshops. We cover everything from reading music, snare rudiments, drum set, timekeeping, playing to different genres, listening withing a group, soloing techniques, miking the drums to topics and music the student is interested in. I have worked with a few students with dyslexia, ADHD and special needs. I am a session musician, most recently played drums with the Country Hip-Hop band Whosoever South (WhosoeverSouth.com) in June 2026. I also travel regionally as a drum contractor with the Worship Support Network and have played on many worship teams across Arizona. I am the drum instructor at Rockin Worship Bootcamp (RockinWorshipAZ.com). It is such a fun & meaningful music camp taught by today’s touring musicians and industry professionals. My heart is for ministry & using my abilities to lift up the church body & reach people for Jesus. Most of my experience is playing modern contemporary Christian music (CCM). I have played drums for large regional denominational conferences in Oregon, Washington and Alaska as well as playing for numerous churches across the country. Of course, I am a private drum instructor, ESA vendor (music tutor), play weekly at my local church and play drums with pastor/guitarist Ronnie James (southern rock, blues & worship) for special events like Hope Fest in Prescott.

Verde Valley Academic Mentorship & K–12 Homeschool Tutoring

My Mission I partner with Christian homeschool families to provide top-tier academic excellence with compassionate, character-driven mentorship. By blending rigorous standards with a gentle, trauma-informed approach, I ensure every student feels safe, seen, and supported to unlock their God-given potential. What Makes This Program Distinct I bring the standards of a Columbia University Ivy League Recruit, an International Scholar Laureate, and a Phi Theta Kappa member to your routine. But achievements mean nothing without service. Grounded in a Biblical Studies certification from Sedona International School of Ministry, my approach focuses on trauma-informed care and a "Going the Extra Mile - G.E.M. Award" philosophy of putting people first. As former Associate Director for the Cottonwood/Sedona Healing Rooms ministry, a local "Teacher of the Month," and a Cottonwood G.E.M. Award recipient, my commitment to going the extra mile is proven in our community. I bring this deep patience to students with unique learning differences or trauma-informed needs. The Families I Serve & Weekly Routine I serve families across the Verde Valley (Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Cornville, Clarkdale, & Sedona). I design flexible daytime sessions tailored to your schedule: K–5: Phonics, reading comprehension, and hands-on math to spark joy. 6–8: Pre-algebra readiness, formal essay structure, and independent study habits. 9–12: Advanced subject mastery, transcript enrichment, and college-prep mentorship. I remain a steady academic partner, communicating progress clearly so we can celebrate every breakthrough together.

Thrive Online Academy

Thrive Online Academy is a Christian online school designed to provide families with a flexible, personalized, and faith-based education experience that combines the freedom of homeschooling with the support of caring Christian educators. Serving students in kindergarten through 8th grade, Thrive partners with families who desire a Christ-centered learning environment where students can grow academically, spiritually, and personally. Unlike traditional online schools that require every student to follow the same schedule and learning path, Thrive Online Academy believes education should be personalized around each child’s unique needs, learning style, pace, and goals. Students learn from home while receiving the level of teacher support that best fits their family’s needs. Through individualized instruction, flexible scheduling, and meaningful relationships with teachers, Thrive provides students with the structure of a school while maintaining the flexibility many homeschool families value. Thrive offers four personalized learning options: Minimum – $4,000/year Designed for motivated learners who thrive with independence. Students complete coursework at their own pace while families provide daily oversight and support. This option includes curriculum access and academic structure without live teacher support. Students are also able to attend clubs and chapel. Families may pay $3,000 when paying in full or $1,000 quarterly. Guided – $6,000/year Designed for students who enjoy independent learning but benefit from additional accountability and guidance. Students receive 2 hours of live teacher support each week to track progress, answer questions, and provide encouragement. This package also includes chapel and access to two student clubs, helping students build relationships and stay connected with their peers. Families may pay $4,500 when paying in full or $1,500 quarterly. Advanced – $8,000/year Designed for students who need more direct instruction and personalized academic assistance. Students receive 4 hours of live teacher support each week where teachers work through challenging concepts, provide homework help, and help students stay on track. This package also includes chapel and two student clubs. Families may pay $6,000 when paying in full or $2,000 quarterly. Elite – $10,000/year Designed for students who benefit from the highest level of individualized instruction and structured support. Students receive 6 hours of live teacher support each week with minimal homework outside of instruction time. This package also includes chapel and two student clubs, allowing students to receive strong academic support while developing friendships and community. Families may pay $7,500 when paying in full or $2,500 quarterly. At Thrive Online Academy, students experience more than academics—they become part of a supportive Christian community. We understand that one concern many online and homeschool families have is ensuring students have opportunities to connect with other children. That is why Thrive provides virtual chapel experiences and student clubs where learners can build friendships, discover shared interests, and develop meaningful connections with classmates. Through chapel, students gather together to worship, learn biblical truths, and grow in their faith. Through clubs, students participate in engaging activities such as Bible study, creative writing, book clubs, art, music, and other enrichment opportunities. These experiences help students develop collaboration skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging while learning from home. Thrive Online Academy combines Christian curriculum, personalized teacher support, flexible scheduling, and community-building opportunities to create a unique online school experience. Students benefit from the freedom of homeschool-style learning while still having access to teachers, classmates, chapel, clubs, and a structured academic environment. Thrive Online Academy is also an approved Education Savings Account (ESA) provider, allowing eligible families in participating states to use ESA and scholarship funds toward tuition costs. Thrive works to make high-quality Christian education more accessible by helping families utilize available educational funding opportunities. Our mission is to connect faith and learning through Christ-centered teaching, personalized support, and strong family partnerships. We believe every student has been uniquely created by God with purpose and potential, and we are committed to helping each student thrive academically, spiritually, and personally.

Frequently asked questions

Are there Christian microschools in Sedona or the Verde Valley?
The Verde Valley is a small market, and dedicated Christian microschools inside Sedona, Cottonwood, or Camp Verde come and go. Right now our verified full-time options in the corridor are limited to United Christian School in Camp Verde and academic mentorship in Cottonwood. Most Verde Valley families supplement with a nearby Prescott or Flagstaff microschool, a hybrid program that meets 2-3 days a week, or an online microschool that serves all of Arizona.
What's the closest homeschool co-op to Sedona?
The nearest active Christian co-ops are in Prescott (about 60 miles from Sedona via 89A) and Flagstaff (about 30 miles north). Prescott-Quad Cities Homeschool Co-op and Prescott Classical Academy both serve homeschoolers who are willing to drive over for a weekly meet day.
Can I use Arizona ESA for a microschool or co-op that's not in the Verde Valley?
Yes. ESA funds follow the student, not the ZIP code. As long as the provider is an ESA-approved vendor (or the class is billed through ClassWallet), families in Sedona, Cottonwood, and Camp Verde can pay Prescott, Flagstaff, or online programs with ESA dollars. See the Arizona ESA Guide for how vendor approvals work.
What about a Verde Valley homeschool group that isn't a full co-op?
Several informal park days and Charlotte Mason-style nature meetups run in Sedona and Cottonwood, but they typically organize through private Facebook groups rather than public directories. If you run one and want to be listed publicly, submit it through 'List Your Program' and we'll verify and publish it.
How do I start a co-op in Sedona or Cottonwood?
Two or three homeschool families meeting weekly for a shared subject counts as a co-op. Pick a rhythm (weekly or biweekly), a host location (a home, church fellowship hall, or park), and one or two subjects to teach together - typically writing, science, art, or Bible. When you're ready to accept new families, list it here so other Verde Valley homeschoolers can find you.
