I started my teaching career at Clements in 2002.  I currently conduct the Symphonic Band, which has consistently received superior ratings at UIL concert and sightreading since the school opened in 1983.  The Clements HS Marching Band has been a contender at the State Marching Contest consecutive years since 1998.  I currently serve as a mentor teacher for young band directors.  I am a member of Texas Music Educators Association and the Texas Bandmasters Association.  I am also an active member of TMAA, judging regularly in the Houston area each year.

I am an alumnus of Clements High School.  I received my bachelor’s degree in music education from Sam Houston State University in May of 2002 under the direction of Dr. Matthew McInturf.  In December of 2007, I earned the Master of Music degree in Conducting from Sam Houston State University, also under the guidance of Dr. McInturf. 

Currently, I live in Sugar Land with my wife, Jennifer, who is also a Clements HS and Sam Houston State alum.  She teaches algebra here at CHS as well.  We have two boys—Nathan, a Clements graduate and Andrew, a current CHS student.  We have two Great Danes at home, Myla & Gracie, who I enjoy walking in my free time.
