His next position was serving for five years at Lehman High School in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, another district in the Austin, Texas area.

The Arts Administration program at Boston University enjoys a stellar reputation, and rightfully so. The instructors are some of the most knowledgeable, fellow students are some of the brightest in their field, and the Boston arts scene is one of the best in the world. I am very excited to learn and grow in this community of arts professionals.”
