Probably the environment: I love being around people that love God and love music. Seeing how people's lives are changed and how they grow here in so many ways is pretty awesome.
Sam Skirrow
Bass Tutor
What is your favourite part about working at Nexus?
I get mocked a lot for being short and playing an ‘easy’ instrument, but I know it’s because people secretly admire my height and wished they played the bass... All jokes aside, I’d have to say it’s the relationships formed here both between faculty members and between the staff and students that makes this such an addictive environment to be a part of.
