Pledged: Spring 1981
Hometown: Lexington, MA
Where do I  currently reside: Germantown, MD
What I am doing currently:    Married to the very beautiful Nancy (nee Weidler) for 19 years, and we have two kids, Elena (age 17 - H.S. senior, wants to be a physical therapist) and Steven (13).
    I spent about 15 yrs. outside the music ed field, mostly in the field of telecommunication. Earned a master's degree in telecom from GWU, Dec.1997. When telecom world went bust, c.2001-2, I came back to music ed and have been teaching elem. general music for past 6 yrs.
    I "sit in" as cantor on occasion at our local Reform Jewish congregation (Cong. Or Chadash, Damascus MD), conduct the teen/adult choir, and taught for 11 yrs. in the religious school. Recently, last December, I produced, rehearsed and directed a "Judas Maccabeus Sing"  (G.F. Handel), complete with chorus/audience, full orchestra and soloists.
Memorable stories from my  times at Theta Iota:  It was a "building" situation. Faculty Advisor was Dr. Alan Woy (clarinet). When I joined, the chapter was quite small -- a real "fixer upper" if you will. By the time that I graduated 2 yrs. later, it had grown substantially.
    Looking back on my time at SUNY-Potsdam/Crane and in PMA/TI, the biggest benefit of membership was the ability to gain more experience performing (major instrument = Trombone) and conducting.
