Thank you to all who could attend and all who joined us in the live stream. I appreciate all of you who have contributed to my career as a music educator.
Special Thanks to my lovely wife Beth, and my amazing kids (Pam and Ginny) for supporting me through all the ups and downs (and busy schedules) found in music education. I'm looking forward to spending time focused more on them after all these year.
Thank you to Jisselle Cardenas for spearheading the wonderful people that made this day such a special event. It's been a complete joy working with you from your days as a student and then as an instructor and educator at Olympian HS. And of course to the great people who helped Jisselle by volunteering to help in any way they could. I'm very grateful for your love and appreciation.
I should also recognize my family, as they encouraged my persuit of music from a young age. My parents always supported my musical endeavors from a young age allowing me to study what I had a passion for. This program and my music endeavors are all a result of the years of music experiences blending together into the musician and music educator I have become.
