About:
Dr. Ackley began teaching at UW-Washington County in 1994.  Besides teaching, he enjoys conducting, composing, and arranging.  He is the director and conductor of the university’s Moraine Symphonic Band, the Washington County Youth Orchestra, the conductor for West Bend’s Community Marching Band (the River City Irregulars), and has guest conducted several ensembles.  He also performs with the Moraine Saxtet.  His compositions have been played in Milwaukee, Madison, West Bend, Slinger, and, perhaps, other places too seedy for respectable company.  His arrangements have been played exclusively by the Moraine Symphonic Band and the Moraine Saxtet.

Dr. Ackley is a member of the honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and has been included in several editions of Who’s Who in America’s Teachers and Who’s Who in America.

Both Dr. Ackley and his wife, Beth, enjoy computers, reading, and exploring.
