Welcome! At first, this website existed to augment research presented at conferences. It has grown to include audio and video performance samples, information for students and of course recent research activities. If you are viewing this website from a mobile device, it is easiest to navigate from the top of each page to locate information. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments! However, note that due to overwhelming demand, I do not respond to "Tell me about my instrument" emails. This type of request is available through my online marketplace at Square.
I am excited to announce that I have accepted an offer to become the next ITEA Historian. Watch for articles in the Journal and further updates on the web!

We're back online! Issues from a database server upgrade caused a brief outage of the website. A few pages have been restricted. We'll be moving to a new platform in 2020.
Due to the retirement of Concrete 5.6, upgrades on the website will be limited until the new site is up summer 2019.
The Fall 2018 lesson signup form is linked on the left. You can also contact your band director to signup for lessons.
Students at A&M Commerce should register for lessons through the Music Office.
