I teach instrumental music at Okoboji High School and assist at
Okoboji Middle School. I direct the high school concert band, marching
band, pep band, and jazz bands. I offer individual instrumental music
lessons to interested high school students who are able to fit them
into their busy schedules. I also assist with instrumental lessons at
the middle school (all middle school percussion lessons and other
instruments as needed).
I earned a BFA degree in music education from the University of
South Dakota in 1981 and taught instrumental music in grades 5-12 for
eight years at Terril before joining the Okoboji Community School
District in 1989. I have also done additional graduate studies at the
University of Northern Iowa, the University of Iowa, and the University
of South Dakota. My wife Julie is the band director at Okoboji Middle
School. We have three sons. In my free time I enjoy reading, boating,
skiing, biking, listening to music, and playing drums and percussion in
area bands.
