About Me

I am a composer, producer, arranger, and musician. On The Courts is my music and production company. Projects I have worked on include scoring music for film tv, theater, jingles, and recording projects. Credits for original music include HBO's "Real Sex", Rysher Films feature film "Let It Be Me", the independent film "Mixed Signals", and the NiteStar Theater group, among others. As a producer/musician/arranger my credits include the closing theme for Spike Lee's "4 little girls", the score for the independent feature "Boy in A Bathtub", Oscar Hijuelos's song "I Want To Eat" for the album "Stranger Than Fiction", among others. Along with my musical projects I am the author of Cherry Lane's "Blues Riffs for Piano" book. Currently I am the keyboardist for the blues/roots band "The Atwaters". I have studied orchestration, arranging, and film scoring with Don Sebesky and Steven Scott Smalley and composition with Michael Jefry Stevens.
