I cannot understate how lucky i am to have gotten to work with this amazing group of people.

Thank you ATVE for trusting me learning with me, and growing with me. I am so insanely proud of your hard work and growth. It is not every day that you get a group of students who are so funny, creative, and always willing to go the extra mile to achieve excellence. It has been a joy to stand in front of you, and I can’t wait to see every single one of you continue to grow as performers.

Thank you to the AT staff for immediately welcoming me with open arms. Getting to work alongside such driven and talented educators has been so incredibly inspiring. More than that, getting to work with people I can now genuinely call some of my closest friends is something I will never take for granted. Thank you all for having faith in me and just being by my side for the crazy, awesome ride this season was.

All that to say, the true price of passage really were the friends we made along the way 💀🖤

AT ‘26 - After a few days of reflection on this crazy season, I can’t help but be so proud of the group we became over the course of the past 6 months. With this being my first journey with a world class WGI snareline, This was one of the toughest seasons of my life. Despite the challenges (school, work, kidney stones, hard beats, runnin and gunnin drill, 5 hour drives every weekend) we made it to the end. This snareline, and whole group has become a true family to me, and by the end I knew I could trust that all 100% of us would execute at some of the highest level of drumming I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of. There wasn’t a plateau all season, and we fought till the end. Thank you to all the members and all the staff for giving me a home to spend my weekends for the past 6 months, I appreciate every single one of you ❤️

Hey there! I wanted to connect on behalf of @gnarcytribe. We've got some totally cool jewelry lined up, and I reckon you'd be the best match to rock our latest collection of rugged accessories!

If you're interested, we'd love to hook you up with 3 pieces on the house! Yup, you read that right – completely FREE!

Just shoot a DM over to our main account @gnarcytribe, and our guy Shawn will sort you out pronto! But hey, don't sleep on it – spots are filling up fast, and we'd hate for you to miss out on the action! Cheers, mate! 🤙

My mother sang this to me. Then she sang it to my children. My bestie took this picture of our grandson yesterday as we were shopping in a little town an hour from home. It was in a random place I would never have expected to see this painted. All I can think about today is that I hope she sings to him in his dreams. I will never not miss my parents. I will always love this phrase and know they are watching over us all. 🌻⭐️🕊

8 years and 4 days since Spirit of Atlanta had preformed on the second Saturday in August. It was one to remember. KSA SOA #teamfeet #visual #leftright #dut #soa #whatyousee

as shocked as I am to say it, spring training #1 (of hopefully 2) is in the books. I've truly found my home here at Spirit and the amount I've grown as both a performer and a person in the past 5 weeks is unbelievable. the people I've met and worked with are some of the most incredible people I've ever had the privilege of meeting and marching with and I'm so ready to get on the road and let the world see the Bottle Tree. (I put a couple early spring training pictures near the end so you can see how far I've come with both my physical ability as well as performance energy and confidence) @spirit_of_atlanta

My final day being a part of Audio Theater has come to an end, after 5 wonderful years. I CANNOT thank these two dudes enough for everything they have done for me within that time! I’m very fortunate to have been pushed to do the best I possibly could for all this time, which was well spent with this ensemble. The push and the point where my life changed simply began with the question “If your mother were to stand on that dot and a sniper was pointing at her, would you make it to that dot in time?” Then Andrew and Chris both had to help me realize I needed to push. They are what made me into the man I am today. If that didn’t happen 4 years ago, I would still be as shy as I was when I first started out. This is my final picture because I love these two so much. Thank you, AT and Chris and Andrew!!!!
