    Following his recent completion of undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University, Kenneth is working as a freelance videographer, social media manager, and percussion instructor in Nashville Tennessee. At Vanderbilt, Kenneth pursued his B.M. in percussion performance under the tutelage of Ji Hye Jung and W. Lee Vinson. During his time at Vanderbilt, Kenneth also grew the athletic bands program, becoming the percussion director of the Spirit of Gold Marching Band as a sophomore. Kenneth keeps close ties to Vanderbilt, continuing as the marching band’s percussion director and working closely with students and faculty through Continuous Motion Productions.

    Kenneth was a member of the Blue Knights Percussion Ensemble in 2016 and 2017, and a member of the Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps from 2017 - 2020 where he learned from world-class instructors Colin McNutt, and was voted “Crusader of the Year” out of a 160 person membership. In addition to his work with Vanderbilt’s marching band, Kenneth has worked closely with several other high school programs in Colorado and Tennessee as an instructor and music arranger. Kenneth’s exposure to this wide variety of musical ensembles presents many opportunities to expand his passion for videography and video editing through video projects for the ensembles he teaches and performs with.

    Additionally, Kenneth values the collaborative and creative experience of working with others on projects that they value, a passion that translates from his musical world of performing and teaching to his production endeavors of filmmaking. Kenneth hopes to continue teaching music and stay active in the videography field as a means to collaborate with others.
