Welcome to our band's website! I am so beyond excited to get to work with all of you. If you ever need anything or have any questions, please reach out.

I went to college at Northwestern College in Orange City, IA where I completed music and secondary education degrees in 2021.  After graduation I moved to Mitchell with my wife Kaitlyn and accepted the Mitchell Middle School Band position where I held that position from fall of 2021 to spring of 2025. In spring of 2025 Mr. Stahle the high school director and I decided to switch rolls and I will be taking over the high school program summer of 2025. During the 4 years at the middle school I helped direct the high school marching band, all middle school bands, the middle school jazz band, middle school drum line, high school musical pit band, and also the high school show choir pit band. In the summers I am also the coordinating musical director for the Mitchell Municipal Band. I currently serve on the SDMEA board as the Middle School Jazz Chair and am very involved in our church as the church choir director and sing most Sunday’s on praise team. I had the privilege to travel to Disney World with the high school band in the spring of 2022 and we are returning for a band tour spring of 2026 which I can’t wait for.

I have been married to my beautiful wife 5 years and have one amazing daughter Cecelia (CeCe for short). We just recently found out we are pregnant with twins due in early November and can’t be more excited for all the changes and the growing of our family. We also have a Woodle named Coda who is quite spoiled!
