Tommy's Story
Life
I have 1 son from my first marraige (Austin, born in 1986); and 2 daughters (Kate, born in 1993 and Jackie, born in 1999) who are a product of my 2nd marraige.
I have taught band since 1980. I now teach in the Lake Dallas Independent School District.
I completed my Doctor of Education degree on August 9, 2008. The title of my dissertation was "Ashbel Smith's Contributions to Education in Texas."
I enjoy spending time with my children, teaching music to my students, research, reading widely, and listening to multiple genres of music. Also, I have enjoyed some success as an author and am published.
I would love to hear from former classmates!
Workplace
My first band directing job was at Cleveland Jr. High in Cleveland, TX. I was there for one year (1980-1981...Expand for more
). Then, my high school band director, Charles Forque, brought me to the Plano ISD where I taught band for 17 years.
I then got out of band directing for 4 years. During some of that time I worked as a technical recruiter in the information technology industry. I also supervised student teachers at Texas A&M University-Commerce, and I worked as the accounts manager for a music retailer.
After returning to band directing for 4 years (in the Highland Park and Garland ISDs during the years 2002-2006), I once again left band directing in order to teach private low brass lessons full time in the Plano and McKinney school districts. That was during the 2006-2007 school year. I am now a band director in the Lake Dallas ISD (my first year there was the 2007-2008 school year).
