Overview
I am a marching arts instructor, choreographer, visual designer, and adjudicator with experience spanning high school marching bands, indoor percussion, and drum corps across Texas and the United States. I currently serve as Visual Caption Manager, Ensemble Manager, and choreographer for the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum & Bugle Corps, and as Visual Caption Manager, Rehearsal Coordinator, and Lead Choreographer for Rhythmic Force Percussion in Austin.
My approach to visual design emphasizes maximum effect through efficient, modern movement — a philosophy I have developed through years of training and mentorship alongside some of the most respected visual designers in the activity.
At the scholastic level, I have served as a visual and brass instructor, choreographer, and movement specialist for several high-achieving programs in Texas, including Westlake, Cedar Ridge, and Vandegrift high schools. Over more than a decade at Claudia Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson High School in San Antonio, I helped build a program that grew into a BOA regional and super regional champion, a Grand National finalist, and a UIL State medalist and champion. I am proud to have been a staff member for three separate programs that have each earned at least one UIL 6A State medal.
As a co-creator of Marching Band Movement, an educational video course for teachers and students, I am committed to advancing movement training and literacy across the marching arts.
Work Experience
My DCI experience includes Visual Caption Manager and choreographer for the Crossmen, visual and brass staff for the Boston Crusaders, Blue Stars, and Cadets, and movement and choreography coordinator for the consistent WGI World Class Finalist Monarch Independent Percussion. I also served on the visual staff for the WGI Silver Medalist Crossmen Winds. In 2023, I had the honor of adjudicating the UIL Texas State Marching Band Contest.
As a performer, I marched baritone for the Crossmen and the Santa Clara Vanguard.
