I have been in the education business as a teacher and administrator for over 35 years. Twenty plus years ago I had the incredible, memorable experience of working at Los Altos High School in Los Altos, California with a unique, talented group of students as the Assistant Principal of Student Activities. One of my assigned roles in that position was meeting daily with the elected student government officers to facilitate the planning of their various activities and to provide them with the opportunity to learn and exercise various leadership skills. Cory Cullinanwas the Student Body President at that time. At the age of seventeen he was poised, clear thinking, intelligent, and gregarious with a keen sense of insight and humor. Our meetings were fun (sometimes almost hysterical) yet we accomplished a great deal under Cory’s leadership.We established a pattern of week long Homecoming Activities the current student government uses as a template to this day.

When times are hard, I look for the happy stories. I hope this story makes you happy too.

Among Cullinan’s many strengths is self parody and the puncturing of political correctness.

He seeks artistic fulfillment away from the spotlight, music itself being of greater importance than fame and celebrity. Personal integrity, friendship, and the difficulty of farewell are confronted along with myriad other emotions and shifting musical representations of them.

We have a lot of ground to cover, because I’ve been in your world for the majority of the morning here today… And I’m very, very inspired and impressed by the amount that you do.
Stefan Shepherd
Cory Cullinan is a busy man, a fast talker, a guy with boundless enthusiasm…

The two weeks I spend at Stanford near the end of every summer are easily my favorite partof each year. I get up, go to work, run sessions and work on music all day, and then I go home andget to do it all again the next day. The recording arts workshop there is the single most fulfillingthing that I have ever been lucky enough to be a part of, and if they’ll have me, I’ll be teaching ituntil my ears go deaf from all the noise. In my time there, I’ve been involved in a wide variety ofprojects, from playing the cowbell in a full-group improvisational piece led by a Paly High student tovocalizing over an avant-garde experimental horror soundtrack brought in by a grad student fromTaiwan. It’s opened my world up to so many genres and musical practices that I never would haveattempted otherwise, and every person who’s taken the course has left their mark on my musicalstyle.

Cory is fun to work with and a fine human being.
