During his time at BNHS, he was the Director of the Marching Band, Wind Ensemble, and Co-Director of the BNHS Symphony Orchestra. During the 2021-2022 school  year, the BNHS Symphony Orchestra was invited to both the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, and the  Texas Music Educators Association Convention in San Antonio to perform at both of these prestigious events in the  same school year.
