I graduated from Missouri State University in 2009.  My main instrument is Trumpet and I play various brass instruments and percussion.  I was the Band Director for Collinsville High School for 3 years and am now the Director of Bands for Rockwood Summit High School.  I have been performing with the St. Louis Brass Band since 2009 and have taught on the Brass Staff for the 2009 and 2011 Brass Champion Carolina Crown since 2008.  I am a proud member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia at Missouri State University and of the Delta Chi Fraternity at DePauw University and Missouri State University.  Recently my wife gave birth to our first child, Joseph Robert!  Check out the rest of my pages for details about the different organizations I am in and fun stuff!
