About Me

I am a composer, Chapman Stick player, guitarist, electric bass player, performer, and teacher. My background includes studies at Berklee College of Music where I earned my Bachelors in Composition, and Carnegie Mellon University School of Music where I earned my Masters in Composition.
Of Birth and Death...Combine elements of Classical, Jazz, and Progressive Rock. Dispense upon a rhythmic background of odd and fluctuating meters. Color with timbres from the three mentioned genres. Perform in a liberal manner.
