    Why Marquette

    I love the atmosphere, the culture, and the principle of “cura personalis” or education of the whole person, a value that is lived at Marquette.

    Professional Work

    I direct a community wind band in Milwaukee, the Knightwind Ensemble, in addition to guest conducting appearances with many other groups around the USA and abroad, in addition to my Marquette work.
