I handle all business-related matters such as accounting, advertising, scheduling, lesson planning, customer relations, POS, community outreach, and even trademark filing. I also do regular maintenance in my percussion studio and all the musical instruments within it. Under the umbrella of SyracuseDrums.com I also build custom drums for customers all over the contiguous US.Lastly, I've also written numerous books including two marching percussion educational books, one children's book about music, and most recently a 320-page novel called Drummond. These publications are available on Amazon, Audible, and several local bookstores - including booths within the New York State marching circuit show sites.
