Teacher of some pretty great high school musicians. Composer for band, choir, orchestra, and video games.
I really enjoyed the Earthbound USA documentary. What an amazing time capsule of what it was like to be on the Web 1.0 internet in the mid-90s; of unofficial fan pages and IRC and the communities that sprouted from things that we loved.

An incredible time capsule of a letter from the X-Mail segment of Uncanny X-Men 145: Comparing the very fresh deaths of John Lennon and Jean Grey.

And right after the Appha Flight / Wolverine / Wendigo run is one of the all-time great X-Men stories!

I really enjoyed this Alpha Flight / Wolverine / Wendigo run in Uncanny X-Men. I also appreciate how they never call the man in green by name, only the “prime minister,” but we know who he is, hahaha 😊

From the town where I grew up! In fact, this was my summer job from 2005-2008. I might think that the Viking Statue might be a bit more iconic, but I’ll take the lighthouse 😊

My heart is so full after an incredible evening of music last night. Dr. Jason Caslor and the ASU Wind Ensemble knocked “Arcadia” out of the park last night and gave it a premiere full of life, energy, and joy. I’ll share more as the day goes on, but here’s a taste of the show last night 😊

Slowly working my way through the Chris Claremont run of X-Men. Look out, Alberta, here they come.

Today I made the connection that Vindicator of Alpha Flight’s name is James Hudson, like the Hudson Bay and James Bay between Manitoba and Ontario 🍁

You know your band piece is intense when the 2nd Bassoon part is seven pages 😳
