He began his musical journey joining the band as a fifth grade student in DuQuoin, Illinois, learning the trumpet.  During this time, he played in various bands including concert and jazz.  In addition, he learned the keyboard and played at community events and church.  This is the time he decided he wanted to go into education.  He began teaching private lessons to family members and neighbors.
