I am so blessed to teach 4th through 8th Grade music here at AVCS! I hold a bachelor of music from San Francisco State and a masters of music from Cal State Fullerton with an emphasis in classical cello performance! Since graduating, I have made my career in teaching and performing in a wide variety of contexts from classical to worship to musical theater. My main passion though, is education. I absolutely love watching kids develop a life-long appreciation of music!

I am newly married as of April 2024! My beautiful wife, Maleah and I live here in Lake Forest. Together we serve in youth ministry at Mount of Olives Lutheran Church leading worship and high school Bible study. We feel so honored and blessed to be part of the AVCS family!

My favorite Bible verse is Ephesians 3:20-21

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
