About Me

Leawood, Kansas, United States
Before deciding to become a Band Instrument Repair Tech, I studied music at Fort Hays State University (Hays, Kansas). I received my B.A. in music from them. There I studied Saxophone and Clarinet under Dr. Kristen Pisano. I also studied voice under Dr. Joe Perniciaro, and Jazz Improvisation under Brad Dawson. I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, a music fraternity, and I served as the FHSU chapter Vice President of Rituals. While in high school I earned many of my undergraduate hours at Barton County Community College. There I studied saxophone with Steven Lueth and piano with Karole Erickson. I also graduated with a diploma of Band Instrument Repair from Southeast Technical College in Red Wing, Minnesota in 2011.

I made it! This week I graduated from MSC-Southeast Technical with a diploma of Band Insturment Repair, and I also graduated from Fort Hays State University with a B.A. in Music! I enjoyed my time at Red Wing learning this craft. I'm excited to start working in this field!

The last eight weeks of class really flew by. A good portion of our time was spent overhauling saxophones. We also did play and conditions on all woodwind instruments. The last couple weeks were spent doing basic oboe repairs and learning about bassoon repair. My project saxophone page is in the works so please come back to see that later this week!
