I’m studying K-12 Instrumental Music Education at Truman State University, and double-majoring in Music Composition. I plan on being a teacher of orchestra, band, jazz, music theory, music history, and/or music technology.

I produce music on the side, and I’m the drummer for my band, Wabbi.

Ideas I Live By

• “Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance.”
• Memento Mori (“Remember you will die”).
• Our strengths and our weaknesses are two sides of the same coin.
• “Smash the pots. Burn the paintings. The art isn’t the art. The art is never the art. The art is the thing that happens inside you when you make it, and the feeling in the heart of the beholder.”
• “People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right" (or at least more right than you were before).
• “Simple is nice, and it’s changing my mind.”
• Diagnose, Prescribe. Diagnose, Prescribe.
• Allow yourself to rest. For many of us who are obsessed with productivity and efficiency, it’s one of the most counterintuitive things we can do, but that much more important. Make time for it.
• Every Second Counts.
• Clean as you go.
