Both individuals are the middle school state-level winners and the national nominees for the NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) Outstanding Educator Awards. This is the first year NFHS has recognized educators at the middle school level, with national winners to be announced later in the 2025-26 school year. Nominees for the NFHS Outstanding Educator Awards must exemplify the highest standards of ethical conduct and carry the endorsement of their respective state association. An NFHS awards committee reviews nominations and selects regional award winners.

He has hosted contests for more than 20 years, served on the IESA Music Advisory Committee, and works closely with both elementary and high school music staff to create a thriving, cohesive program. His leadership has inspired students at every level and helped Rockridge Music become one of the premier programs in Illinois.
