He also oversees all touring and run-out engagements such as recent appearances at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago, the Green Bay Packers, and the Milwaukee Bucks. In addition, he is executive producer for all MSO media activities, including Orchestra’s nationally syndicated radio series—the longest consecutive-running series of any U.S. orchestra—which is heard by more than two million listeners annually.

He holds a bachelor of arts in music from Central College in Pella, Iowa, and an MBA from the Henry B. Tippie School of Management at the University of Iowa.
