About Me

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 just started BIR school about a month ago.  So far, I have been working with brass instruments, mainly the trumpet.  I have learned a lot about taking out dents, and buffing brass instruments.  I learned how to port and chem flush brass instruments as well.  We have made many tools thus far as.  Tomorrow I will post pictures of the tools that we have made.  I am currently working on a solder project as well.  Pictures of that are coming too!
