About me

I have been involved with music for over 20 years and have played trumpet for a majority of that.  My desire to teach stems from my interest in helping others learn how to find their passion in music.  I have taught at several schools as a music coach, music director, marching band coach, visual caption head and have given private lessons.  I marched with the world class drum corps, the Santa Clara Vanguard.  I also served in the United States Marine Corps as a Trumpet Instrumentalist for eight years and performed across the country.  One of my favorite hobbies is to compose and arrange music.  I have music published with the Robert W. Smith Music Company and have my own publishing company.  I hope that all of my experiences and passion will be a great help to my students and inspire them to become lifelong learners of music!
