Hello... I'm Art Rothafel

I'm your instructor for the Guitars 4 Vets Program at the American Legion in Orange, California.

Let me share a bit of my journey with you.

Music has been the constant rhythm of my life for as long as I can remember. From the very first time I picked up a guitar, I knew it wasn’t just an instrument — it was an extension of my soul.

Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune of performing, recording, and collaborating with numerous talented musicians and artists. Each song, each stage and each story has shaped me.

My Most Current Songs

While music is a big part of my journey, I also discovered a passion for connecting people, technology and ideas, which naturally led me into the world of marketing.

Interestingly, marketing requires one to understand an audience, tell a story and strike the right chord — not all that different from writing a song, really!

And when I’m not immersed in music or creative projects, you’ll probably find me on the slopes at Mammoth Mountain in the Eastern Sierra -- or locally in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Skiing has been a lifelong love — a way to challenge myself, recharge and find inspiration in nature’s beauty and power.

Through it all, whether it's making music, building a brand or carving fresh tracks in the snow, my journey has been about passion, creativity and living life with a full heart.

Thanks for taking a few moments to get to know me. I’m excited for all the songs, adventures, and connections still ahead, including YOU!

I’m grateful that you've decided to add music, and the guitar, to your own personal journey.
