I currently teach 5th & 6th grade band at Clarendon Elementary School, 7th grade exploring music and 8th grade band at Park View Middle School in Mukwonago, WI. I earned my Bachelors of Music Education from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and have earned my Master's Degree in Instructional Technology from Cardinal Stritch University.

I enjoy spending as much time with my wife and daughter. We recently got a cat and we are calling her Tango. :)

I play all of the band instruments but my true love is the Trumpet. I have met Wynton Marsalis, Maynard Ferguson, and the sax player for the Dave Matthews Band, Jeff Coffin. I also am a member of the 132nd WI Army National Guard Band based in Madison, WI. We travel around the state and world, performing for audiences and communities in support of the US Army and our National Heritage.
