After receiving his honorable discharge, he spent the next several years working as a staff member for Dunedin High School and Winter Park High School, along with many others, focusing on helping students to achieve a higher understanding of music and performance. It was then that he knew that this was his life’s calling.

He has had the opportunity to perform with concerts band such as the Wilmington Symphonic Winds and the Orlando Concert Band, as well as numerous percussion ensembles and other performing ensembles in the Orlando and Tampa Bay area.

In his spare time, Mr. Bonelli enjoys spending time with his family, friends and cheering on the Tampa Bay Lightning.
