Well, as much as I dislike doing these, I will try my best. Most of my friends often find it easier to talk to me than some of their other friends or even their significant other. All though I am patient, caring, and a good listener, I am still a Taurus. Thus, I can be extremely stubborn at times. I love the season of fall because of the air being brisk, its smell and the gorgeous colors mother nature produces. Sadly, though, fall has become way to short for my liking. I also enjoy quiet nights in with a good friend or, on occasion, a night on the town. I'm not interested in finding Ms. Right Now, but should Mrs. Right come along, I won't complain.

I graduated from Olivet College with a BMA in Music Education with a high concentration on Secondary Instrumental (the technical term for a High School Band Director). Since then, I have been sending resumes and applications all over trying to find a full time teaching position. Currently, I am substitute teaching through Kelly Services.

...there are a lot of things I am good at, but everybody tends to point out my ability to genuinely listen, give great advice, and to teach.

I have been told I have beautiful eyes. (if you can get me to remove my sunglasses)

I never really got in to books but, do scores count? However, there are too many movies, types of music, and food items that I like to list.

Besides the obvious, necessary for every living thing...family, music, my musical knowledge, an internal combustion movement apparatus, a computer, and my spirituality.

My family's well being, finding a full time teaching position that won't be like all of the horror stories I've heard from colleagues, and between August and October, the Haunted Castle I'm now in charge of.

As of right now, not much. I prefer to stay in most of the time and have a dinner and a movie, or a walk under the stars talking type night.

I have been known to shed a tear or two over a beautiful piece of music, the loss of a loved one, an extremely touching story/movie, or when your students work so hard to learn a piece of music and the night of the concert, which you thought was going to be a complete disaster, they pull it all together and sound absolutely perfect! As of right now, I don't think there is anything else I could be more proud of than my Student Teaching 6th graders, who performed such a miracle. That's right, I'm a guy and I openly admit that I, even though I don't like to, and especially not in front of people, cry.

You need someone to listen, some advice, or if you would like to.
