I grew up in Hobe Sound, FL, about 25 miles north of West Palm Beach. I am excited about teaching elementary and middle school bands. My wife, Sherilyn, and I have 5 amazing children: Julianna (26), Samuel (24), Lydia, (22), Joseph (19), and Micah (13). With God's help, I am anticipating an amazing year full of new opportunities! My life verses are Isaiah 26:3-4 "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.  Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD God is s an everlasting rock."
