Formal Education
Bachelors of Music Education- Berklee College of Music
Masters of Trumpet Performance- Western State, Colorado
Doctorate of Orchestral Conducting- U. Northern Colorado
Performing instruments- trumpet, flugelhorn, valve trombone, French horn, bass, and piano.
I taught music for 34 years, the last 22 years at San Juan College in Farmington. There I ran the instrumental music department, conducting the orchestra, concert band, jazz band, jazz combos, rock combos, a youth orchestra, and the bi-annual musical. I also taught Music History, World Music, Roots of American Pop, and Elementary Music Education.
I have conducted 30+ musicals, most recently as Music Director of Sandstone Productions in the Four Corners. There we did over 40 performances of Grease and Footloose.
I've recently moved to the wonderful City of Albuquerque where I continue to discover the fantastic people and amazing musical scene. I play jazz, provide backup groups to touring artists, play and guest conduct with concert bands and orchestras, compose and arrange. It been fun to be involved in ABQ's film scene too!
