Major: Music Education, Tuba

Secret Desire: To get the hell out of college.

Secret Shame: I don't really have anything against clarinets.

Pet Peeves: whiners, people who eat with their mouths open, social lepers, right-wing conservative wackos, left-wing liberal wackos

Favorite music: everything and anything, in moderation, BUT NOT RAP OR COUNTRY!

Hobbies: reading, music, legos, teaching, talking shop, being with my friends, answering stupid e-mail queries off the page, etc.

Just Gotta Say: I would like everyone to know that there are no individuals responsible for the success of our tuba line: every single guy deserves credit, and it makes me sad that I can't put more emphasis on that. Special thanks go to Chris, for having the wherewithal to sit down and create something that we had been talking about for years, and to all of the guys on the line who aren't tuba majors and play for the sheer enjoyment of it. If the majors are the best players and guide the section, then it's all of the non-majors who actually hold the weight.
