Born in Key West and raised in Bradenton, Florida, Mr. Olson moved to Vermont in 2002 to become Director of Music at LCWS. After earning a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a B.A. in Music Education from Florida State University, he was drawn to Waldorf education as an opportunity to merge both degrees into his work. After a decade of work, he continues to be amazed by the level of artistry that his students can achieve when they are met with meaningful experiences, in music classes and beyond. Mr. Olson's daughter Natalie is a member of the LCWS class of 2029.
