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 finished building my mouth pipe today.  It took a lot of work to get the solder joint just right.  I had to start over on the the upper outer slide tube side because my shimming slipped out a little bit.

I also modified the bearing seater tool that I made early in the semester.  We threaded it and added a bolt, just like we have on our slide tube dent tool.
