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.

This is the start to my last week in brass class this semester.  I am anxious to start woodwinds.  I am done with my projects, so I just have some dent tests to do this week.  Hopefully I can get in a few more projects for extra credit as well.  Today I soldered the water key bridge back on to a chrome plated bugle!  The soldering went well.  I then replaced the water key cork and spring.  I may do some dent work on it tomorrow, or maybe I will be able to start a different project!
