In this first episode, I share the heart behind The Crescendo Life—a podcast for high achievers who want more than just success at work. I'm a band director, father of four, cyclist, pilot, and lifelong learner who's learned the hard way that career accomplishments don't always lead to fulfillment.

This show is for educators, creatives, and growth-minded people who are ready to live more intentionally, chase bold goals, and build a life that's rich, full, and always building toward something greater.

Whether you're leading a classroom, raising a family, training for something big, or just feeling the nudge to grow—this is your invitation to live The Crescendo Life.
