I am happy to say this is my 13th year teaching in the Arlington Central School District. I grew up in Poughkeepsie and graduated Arlington High School in 2003. I continued with my undergraduate at Ithaca College with a B.M. in Music Education and completed my M.M. at Boston University. I am married with two beautiful girls, Emma and Sophie. I currently teach choral/general music at both Union Vale Middle School and LaGrange Middle School. 

In my spare time I enjoy playing saxophone at local jam sessions and watching Islanders hockey. I also teach private lessons for saxophone, piano, and voice. 

In all of my choral groups I stress the importance of working as a team. Very often, success will be measured by the effort displayed in the classroom. I emphasize the importance of listening to all musical styles, as it all helps to shape us as better musicians. I look forward to working with your children. :)
