The passion of the faculty, staff and students. I believe that everyone plays a part in the overall atmosphere of the school. I feel like everyone supports everyone to the best of their ability in this aspect especially.

I enjoy taking spontaneous trips to the various state parks here in Missouri. I have two nieces and an abundance of honorary nieces and nephews who I love spending time with. I enjoy live concerts and events. I am a True/False volunteer and look forward to working at the festival each year.

I’m a self-taught musician of drums, guitar, bass and piano. Anything music I love. I dabble in writing music as well. I work on electric guitars and I have built a few from scratch. I own a few hundred vinyl records and enjoy putting those on to wind down in the evenings.
