In 2010, I completed my PhD dissertation, which combined analysis of the life and works of Arthur Farwell, a comprehensive examination of the theatrical and musical messages in the works of Stephen Sonheim, and electronic music composition using the ChucK music programming platform.

​

My dissertation piece, Stations for 8 players, was never performed, and is a very complicated testimony to that fruitful time. 

​

Since graduation, most of the work I have done has been for small ensembles, school bands and choirs.  I am currently working on a few pieces for ensembles at Palomar College, and an interesting theatrical composition for the Black Sheep ensemble in Boston.  I'm always looking for performers who are willing to take a chance on new work!
