I’m a musician committed to pursuing the highest levels of artistry in every rehearsal and performance environment. I believe music education should challenge students to think deeply, perform with intention, and engage with great art in meaningful ways.

My work focuses on ensemble leadership, program development, and cultivating strong musical cultures where high expectations, collaboration, and ownership lead to transformative performance experiences. I’m especially passionate about wind band, conducting, percussion education, chamber music, and rehearsal processes that guide students toward expressive, artistic performance. Ensembles under my direction have been selected to perform at Kansas Music Educators Association and Kansas Percussive Arts Society conferences.

Whether working with developing musicians or advanced performers, I strive to create environments where students pursue excellence, grow as artists, and experience the power of great music.

At its best, music education is the pursuit of artistry—together.
