Up Close With...
Kale White
Educational Representative, Broken Arrow
How long have you been with PMC, and what brought you to the company?
I have been with Palen Music Center for three years.
Where did you grow up? Musical family?
I was born in Kansas, but lived around Oklahoma City and Tulsa most of my life. I have been truly blessed with outstanding music educators through the years. I was fortunate to have Martin King as my band director at Western Oaks JH, and Ken Grass and Tom Stout as my directors at Broken Arrow HS. I studied under Gene Thrailkill and Dr. William Wakefield at the University of Oklahoma while earning a BFA in Music Education and MME degrees.
Professional background?
I have taught in Purcell, Owasso, the Putnam City Schools (Hefner MS/PC North HS), and retired from the Jenks Public Schools after 18 years.
Any pets?
Last Easter, our family lost our first pet, Bruno. However, this past summer, Archie adopted us and has infused a new spirit and energy into our family.
Any interesting hobbies?
My favorite hobby/past-time is fishing. I just don't find or make enough time to go as often as I'd like.
Anything else to share?
I have been married for 29 years to my beautiful wife, Mary, and have two amazing sons, Brandon and Dawson.
