I am originally from the DFW area, and graduated from Keller High School. From there, I ventured out to the piney woods of Nacogdoches, Texas. I received my degree in Music Education with a minor in German at Stephen F. Austin State University. After college, I taught private bassoon lessons and substitute taught various classes and grade levels for a semester. Once that semester was over, I moved to Abilene and became the assistant band director here at Mann Middle!
