Update!

Hello Friends,
        So much has happened in the last six months!  A quick recap! This past summer I traveled and performed in Sydney Australia to include the Sydney Opera House.  It was a great experience performing with a group of outstanding musicians from the California central valley.

In August, I moved to Tempe, Arizona to begin working with the Sun Devil Marching Band and start my doctoral studies at Arizona State University.  As a staff member with the 400 member marching band, I worked with the low brass sections and assisted in teaching marching and drill.  Once school officially started, I began working as a Teaching Assistant for the university and the band program.  I've been very busy helping manage the large ensembles on campus as well as leading the campus concert band.   

I ended the fall season by attending the Midwest Band and Orchestra clinic in Chicago.  I attended many workshops and concerts as well as see old friends and colleagues.
