About Mr. English

Personal Life

My greatest accomplishment is being husband to my beautiful wife Lily, and father of three fur babies Zoey (Dog), Mowgli and Zelda (Cats).

I was born and raised in High Point, North Carolina. High Point is known as the furniture capital of the world!

Aside from playing various instruments such as banjo and ukulele, my favorite hobbies include; playing video games, collecting board games, and watching Panthers games. I don't know if you can tell but I like games of all types!

Education

I graduated from UNC-Greensboro with my bachelor of arts degree in instrumental music education in 2012

Musical Experience

(Dressed up as a bard when I went to the Renaissance Festival)

I have been playing brass instruments since 2001, starting with the Trumpet in 6th grade and moving to Baritone and French Horn in high school and college. I have also been playing guitar for 11 years. During my college experience I took multiple pedagogical classes to learn how to play and teach all orchestral and wind band instruments. I have played for the Greensboro Philharmonia Orchestra as well as the Greensboro Community Band.
