Verified
As a dedicated and accomplished music educator and administrator with 26 years of experience shaping young musicians and crafting compelling visual productions, I am confident that my unique blend of pedagogical expertise, design proficiency, and leadership experience makes me an exceptional candidate to contribute significantly to your organization.
My extensive career in music education has led me to roles as President of the West Virginia Music Educators Association (WVMEA), Section 2 Representative to the National Federation of High Schools and Region 2 Representative to the WVSSAC Music Committee.
For over 20 years, I have been deeply immersed in the world of marching band, not only as an educator but also as a designer and entrepreneur. My experience in digital marching band show design and sales, including 5 years incorporated as EDS Marching Productions, LLC, showcases my ability to conceive and create visually engaging and educationally sound drill designs.
Goals:
* Create innovative and effective drill designs that are both visually captivating and pedagogically sound, tailored to the specific needs and abilities of individual ensembles.
* Provide insightful educational consultation to band directors, offering guidance on rehearsal techniques, program development, student leadership, and overall program enhancement.
* Communicate design concepts clearly and effectively, both visually and verbally, ensuring directors have the tools and understanding necessary for successful implementation.
* Develop strong working relationships with directors and students, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.
* Leverage my understanding of the educational landscape to provide practical and sustainable solutions for program growth and success.
I am the recipient of the NFHS Section 2 Outstanding Music Educator Award, named one of the WV State Journal’s “40 Professionals Under 40,” and selected as one of School Band & Orchestra Magazine’s “50 Directors Who Make a Difference.”
