Greetings ECU Marching Pirates!

I am extremely excited about joining the long tradition of excellence that is synonymous with the ECU Marching Pirates!  In the short time between accepting the job and moving to Greenville, I have come to the conclusion that there is no finer group of people to work with and I can hardly wait to get the season started.

I have been a big fan of college football for many years and I feel very fortunate to be arriving at ECU during a year that promises to be a special season.  With so many strong members of both the football team and the band returning, who knows what might happen!

I look forward to meeting each of you and learning about the rich ECUMP tradition.  See you at band camp!
