I am an educator and musician with many vast and varied experiences in the field, from performing as a drummer in popular music groups, to instructing students individually and in groups from the time I was 16 years old. I began my college studies at Eastern Michigan University, becoming a member of the United States Military Academy Band at West Point after my junior year. While at West Point I completed my bachelor's degree at the State University of New York and a Master's in Music Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. The highlights of my performance experience include performing for the Queen of England at the Waldorf Astoria while a member of the USMA Band, and touring Italy with the University of Georgia Chamber Orchestra..
