This will be my eighth year of teaching overall and my fourth year teaching in Hartselle.  Prior to teaching in Hartselle, I taught P-8 general music for three schools (simultaneously) in the Northern Kentucky Area.  I have also taught private music lessons and spent many summers working with marching bands in both Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio.  I'm so excited that this year I will be not only at one school, but at Crestline Elementary!  This is a great school and I am excited to get started with the new school year!

My family and I moved to Alabama in the summer of 2015.  I am originally from Northern Kentucky and my wife is from Cincinnati, Ohio.  We met while at Northern Kentucky University, both pursuing music degrees.  My wife and I enjoy renovating houses ourselves. I have a four-year-old son who keeps me on my toes!  This year my wife and I wanted to learn something new and got over 50 birds between chickens and quail to raise.  I love to learn and am always trying to find new and fun ideas to bring back to my classroom.  I feel truly blessed to be a part of the Hartselle City Schools and am looking forward to another great school year!
