A native of Arkansas, Stuart attended the University of Georgia to study classical guitar performance, receiving a B.Mus. degree in 1995 as a First Honor (4.0) Graduate. He then received the M.Mus. degree with highest honors in 1997. During this time, he studied with the noted guitar teacher John Sutherland. He was a National Finalist in the 1994 American String Teachers Association Competition, and a winner of the 1997 University of Georgia Concerto Competition.
He has a new classical guitar album that is now available.

It is available here and here.
