About Me

I'm a band director and have been for a very long time. Single with one son and one granddaughter.Had some good years in Fairfield until the Superintendent and other district staff, both at the district office and a fellow educator, dreamed up a bunch of bull s*** charges against me and tried to fire me. They didn't think I would fight but I did. When they knew they would lose the case against me they dropped the charges and asked for an out of court settlement. I did very good in the settlement.After that I didn't want to work there. I was really happy with how the band parents really fought to keep me there .... NOT.For the glory days... when the Scarlet Brigade was the number one band for more than a decade.... you can visit www.scarletbrigade.orgYou old timers....hit me up and keep me posted. Things change for strange reasons but we can't change the past. We were ..1 for a long time.Now....close to retirement.....I'm a grandpa and loving it.Still teaching and I am looking forward to a new opportunity this year teaching at a brand new middle school due to open in the middle of August. I'm going to fulfill a lifetime dream of teaching in the same district where my brother teaches. He will be a full time orchestra teacher and I'm full time band. It should be interesting to see the Campbell brothers in action in the same district. woooo hooooooo..
