Something no one would guess about me:
“I ran hurdles in high school and college. In high school, I held my school's record in both 110m and 300m hurdles. In college, I graduated with the sixth fastest time in Ohio University history in the 110m hurdles. In one race, I came in second to Olympic gold medalist Allen Johnson.”

Book I most recently read and liked: Building the Green Machine by Colt Foutz
Why I chose Temple: “The school and the area have so much to offer and the
musicians are fantastic. On top of that, I would be teaching in the three areas that I focused my graduate studies on the most: conducting pedagogy, wind ensembles and athletic bands.”
