It’s been a while since my last update, but so much has happened!

I’ve been appointed the Acting Assistant Director of Bands / Director of Athletic Bands at San José State University, moved to San José, CA, settled in with my new colleagues and tried to fill the extremely large shoes left by my predecessor, the inimitable Scott Pierson.

I’m lucky to be working with an amazing and diverse group of students, faculty, and staff and couldn’t be happier with the direction of the bands here at SJSU. An especially big couple of THANK YOUs go out to Dr. David Vickerman and Dr. Diana Hollinger. Without their help, guidance, and support this transition would have been much tougher. I’m very lucky to have a colleagues like them!

Please look for us on social media, @sjsubands and follow some of the amazing things we’re doing to help take this band blazing into the 21st century.
