I've been the music teacher at Oakwood Terrace since 2013.

Before coming to Oakwood Terrace, I taught 4th and 5th grades at Dove Elementary School in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD for 17 years.

I grew up in Montpelier, Ohio, a small town in the northwest corner of the state.  In 5th grade, I began learning to play the clarinet in band.  I started singing in the school choir in 7th grade.  Once I got to high school I participated in every musical activity I could find: playing the clarinet in the concert band, the baritone saxophone in the jazz band, and mallet percussion in the marching band; singing with the concert choir and show choir; and acting in musicals.  I was even able to talk my parents into letting me take piano lessons!

I continued to develop my musical skills while attending Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, playing in several university bands and singing in the a cappella choir.   With a major in Elementary Education and a minor in Music Education, I earned my Bachelor's of Education Degree in 1996.

My wife, Angela, and I have been happily married for 2025 years.  We are blessed with two wonderful children: Joy and Isaac.  In our free time, our family enjoys playing games and traveling.  We are also active members of the Hurst Seventh-Day Adventist Church, where I serve as the Music Director.
