Well, For better or for worse, I'm beginning study to be a Doctor... in music! 

The question I am hearing most often is, “Why now?”  I answer why not?

I desire to broaden my horizons in music, and I will continue to push to be the most excelent tubist, teacher, lecturer I can possibly be.  I believe this will aid in that adventure.

Special thanks to Jim Self for his encouragement.  I am really looking forward to working with him, Norm Pearson, and Doug Tournquist for the next few years.
