He oversees the Houston Middle School Band program, including the Houston Middle Colorguard, which consists of over 160 students grades six through eight. Mr. Nesvick is fortunate to direct the 7th/8th Grade Concert Band which has received Superior Ratings his entire tenure at the school.

This past school year he was recognized by the CMA Foundation as a Music Teacher of Excellence.
A lifelong learner, Mr. Nesvick enjoys playing trumpet for both the Germantown Symphony Orchestra and the Memphis Jazz Orchestra. Mr. Nesvick also serves as Music Director for the Germantown Performing Arts Center’s Youth Wind Ensemble, an audition-based ensemble with members from local private and public school music programs.

Most importantly, Mr. Nesvick enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife, Kate, and one-year-old son, Otto Nesvick. Their growing family loves living in the quaint and safe community of Germantown, TN with their two dogs named Ellie and Moxie as well as the coolest cat ever named Jupiter.
