Hi! Professional music educator, clinician, composer/arranger, performing and recording artist now enrolling new students to study percussion/drums. I am a UNT graduate, the former percussion director at Texas Wesleyan University and have taught in the classroom and privately for 20 years.

My experience in percussion pedagogy has proven to be a successful one.
