I've been teaching Pre-K to eighth grade music at Quinton Township School for twenty-five years. In addition to teaching all the general music classes at my school I teach instrumental lessons, various choirs, handbell choirs, and band at the school. I started a barbershop program at the school in 2014 when I put together the Wildcat Harmonizers. The Wildcat Harmonizers sang in the Midwinter Barbershop Convention in Reno, NV in 2016, and then in the Saturday Night Spectacular in the International Barbershop Convention in Nashville, TN in the summer of 2016. From the Wildcat Harmonizers I put together the Quin-Tones, and they are now a very serious and competitive quartet. I currently have what might be the youngest barbershop quartet in the world in my school called "Elementary Mix." They sang at mic testers in the International Youth Quartet competition in Las Vegas last summer with a second grader on lead, a third grader on baritone, another third grader on tenor, and an eighth grader on bass. I started a new treble-voice barbershop ensemble at Quinton School called the "Wildcat Chord Ringers." They will be performing in the Midwinter Barbershop Convention in Nashville in January. Outside of teaching in the public school I direct a church choir and play organ for masses. I play in three community bands, a Civil War band, and a big band, and I sub for a community orchestra from time to time. I am the music arranger for Fralinger String Band, and they won first place in the Mummers Parade ten times in the seventeen years I've been arranging for them. Multitrack recording is a hobby of mine, and you can see many of my multitrack videos on youtube.
Here are some youtube links to the groups I direct and arrangements I write:
