I grew up in McAllen, Tx until the age of 18 when I was accepted to the University of North Texas and moved to Denton, Tx where I received my Bachelors degree in Music Education with an emphasis in Band. I truly enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge and passion for sounds. Music is the way in which I understand the world and that path has lead me to study a broad variety of subjects from philosophy, socio-cultural phenomenon, cultural impacts of musical genres, human and civil rights movements, and much more. Aside from my musical and academic studies I enjoy time outside cycling, hiking, or climbing with my Wife and pup.
