Mr. Arterburn is a native Texan, born in Lubbock, having spent most of his formative years in Waco and at Baylor University, and now a happy Austinite. He studied Choral Music Education and German at Baylor while singing in top choirs and pursuing his love for musical and visual arts, as well as outdoor sports.
Now he can be found performing with local choirs, trail running, rock climbing, and indulging his nerdy side with comic books and other media.
What excites him most as a teacher is helping students enrich their minds and souls with music and the arts.
