I grew up in the Mexico CSD and attended the New Haven Elementary School. In high school I participated in many music and athletic activities including marching band, football, swimming and the golf team.
Following my HS graduation from Mexico in 1999, I attended Syracuse University and studied at the Setnor School of Music. At Syracuse I performed in many campus ensembles including the Wind Ensemble, Symphony Band, the Pride of the Orange Marching Band and the Sour Sitrus Society Pep Band.
In 2004, I started my teaching career in the Mount Markham CSD teaching 7/8 band. At Mount Markham I directed the 7/8 Band, MS Jazz Ensemble & the MS Marching Band.
In 2007, I started teaching in the Mexico CSD as the 7/8 Band Director at the Mexico Middle School. I currently direct the 7/8 Symphonic Band, the MS Jazz Band, the MS marching band and the pit orchestra for the HS musical.I live in Syracuse with my wife Corinne and our two children Jacob and Matthew!
