I am living in Excelsior, Minnesota with my wife Naoko. We were married in 2006. She is originally from Gifu, Japan. I have been playing the trumpet professionally for the last 16 years. I started in Albuquerque with the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and am currently the Associate Principal trumpeter with the Minnesota Orchestra in Minneapolis. Naoko has a degree in international business. I still love to play golf and my wife and I love to garden as well. We have also been very fortunate to travel to many places around the world mainly on the orchestra's dime. We get back to Blair regularly to see family and catch an occasional Husker football game--ok, a lot of games.
I have to say that looking through all the class pictures brought back many good memories for me. I hope all are happy and healthy.
