About Me ~ Interests

My main interests are music and instrumental conducting. I play the piano, saxophone, flute/piccolo and keyboard percussion. I was also the Head Drum Major of the ECU Marching Pirates 1999 - 2001. Marching band is by far my most favorite thing to do. I was also the Drum Major of my High School Marching Band, the West Lincoln High School Marching Rebels. I am currently the Drum Major Instructor of the North Lincoln High School "Band of Knights" in Lincolnton, NC. Marching Band provides me with a thrill like no other. To be able to come together with such a large group of people and to affect so many people is simply awesome. Marching band people have a common bond like no other. I know that I have made lifelong friendships through marching band.

Another one of my interests is information technology. Specifically within IT, I have a passion for management information systems (MIS). MIS recognizes the increasing importance of computers and information systems in identifying, obtaining and structuring the information necessary for complex decision making in organizations.

Fitness is also of great interest to me. I believe that a fit body equals a fit mind. I workout daily at one of the 16 Charlotte locations of the YMCA. My workout consists of a pre-workout stretch, one mile run, machine/free weights alternating upper and lower body on a daily basis, cardio on the treadmill or stair climber and a post-workout stretch. I also supplement swimming and aerobic activities as time allows. I think that it is important to vary your workout according to style and intensity in order to achieve your goals. Never get stuck in a set routine - Always challenge yourself - Never give up!
