Band camp is not a dirty word

About Me

I'm a choir director in the San Francisco Bay Area. Every morning I wake up screaming because there's so much to do and so much to learn. Consequently I don't sleep much, but I'm happy.Eternally optimistic, I think my primary distinction is that I try not to let my own mediocrity get in the way of accomplishing my goals. I used to be afraid of (or paralyzed by) failure, but now I dare it to happen.
