I am currently in my 27th year as Assistant Band Director/Accompanist at BMS. I assist with the 6th, 7th, &  8th Grade Bands. I also accompany both the 7th & 8th Grade Choirs and the BMS Show Choir. 

I am a native of York, NE. During my high school years, I was Drum Major for 3 years, was selected to the All-State Band for 2 years (Mallet Percussion), and received the John Philip Sousa Band Award for 2 years. I graduated from York High School in 1985. I attended Kearney State College and received a Bachelor's Degree (1989). My major focus was Instrumental Music.

Prior to coming to Scottsbluff, I was the 7-12 Vocal Music Director in Bridgeport, 5-6 Instrumental Music Director in Fairbury, and K-12 Vocal/Instrumental Music Director in Polk-Hordville, all in Nebraska.
