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.

Today started the last week of brass class.  Greg gave us an overview about using the magnetic dent removal system.  This week we are also going to have a lecture on using the dent machine.  So, the class is winding down.  My french horn is turned in, and my trombone has come a long ways.  Check out those pages for more pictures!
Today I also did some cosmetic work on a trumpet for extra credit.  The trumpet is silver plated, and the mouth-pipe had been replaced.  There were parts where the plating had been buffed away, so I re-buffed those areas and spot-plated the trumpet.
