Tarleton State University John Faulkner Tarleton State University

Childhood in Levelland, TX The name says it all! LEVEL – LAND!

Graduated from Levelland High School 2004 I was in the band and journalism. I loved photography and still continue to photograph to this day.

Junior College I went to South Plains College, also in Levelland. I wanted to get a computer programming degree, but changed to music because of the music professors.

Transferred to ENMU Since SPC was a junior college, I transferred to Eastern New Mexico University to complete my degree. I graduated in 2013.

First Job! After graduation, I got my first job in Artesia, NM. I teach band at the Junior High School. I am still teaching here.

Hobbies/Interests Since high school, I have loved Photography. I started my own photography business, and I currently take pictures of high school seniors, and weddings.

Married Life + Kids I met my wife, Ruth, on the first day of college. We got married in 2010, and now we have two wonderful kids. They are my life.

Currently at Tarleton I am in my second year at Tarleton. I plan on graduating in December of 2017. I wanted to get my Masters’ Degree in Music Education because of the benefits of learning, and the positive reinforcements that my local school districts have to offer.

Thank you for reading. I am looking forward to this class, and many more.
