Mr. Knipple earned his Bachelors of Music degree from La Sierra University in 1992. He has taught at Great Lakes Adventist Academy (Choir, Band, Orchestra, private lessons) and Highland View Academy (Choir, Band, Orchestra, and Hand Bells). This is Mr. Knipple’s first year at Fletcher Academy, and he is also the Minister of Music for the Fletcher Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Mr. Knipple said his goal for our students is for them to experience music as a ministry. He enjoys working with young people through music, both choral and instrumental. According to Mr. Knipple, “God has blessed me with the opportunity to travel with my groups to several places including Russia, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Canada, and throughout the United States. The greatest joy has been to see our young people using the talents they have learned, leading people to Christ.”

Mr. Knipple’s favorite activities include hiking, camping, boating, snow and water skiing, aviation, arranging music and being with his family. Mr. Knipple and his wife, Heidi, who is also a Fletcher Academy faculty member, have a son and daughter.
