Jaime O’Neill is the Music Director for Christ United. Jaime graduated from James Valley Christian High School in Huron, SD and South Dakota State University with a music education degree. Jaime is currently working on a Master of Music degree in choral conducting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and hopes to work in the conducting field full-time upon graduation. Jaime has been active in music since he was 5, and he encourages anyone who is interested in serving the church within the music department to reach out. It is never too late to start singing! Jaime enjoys spending time riding his motorcycle (with proper safety gear, of course) and being in the presence of his wife, Sylvia!
