NBHS BAND

I decided to become a music teacher during my senior year of high school.  I was in the marching band where I served as drum major and it was then that I decided that I wanted to share my love of band and music with others.  One of my older brothers was also a music teacher before retiring (he's a drummer; I play the clarinet).  After over 30 years in the job I'm still having a great time.  It's so gratifying to work with the wonderful young people that we have here in North Bergen.

 

My wife and I have 3 children - all boys, and 3 dogs: a Lab/Pit mix, a Pyrenees/Rottweiler mix, and a purebred German Shepherd (she's the only girl).  We also have a cockatiel bird that screams at me when I come home.
