My professional training in music has largely been in the fields of music education, conducting, music technology, and double bass performance, but the thing I love the most about music is composing. During the 1990s I began arranging and composing music for youth orchestra while I was teaching at the secondary level. Since the year 2000, I have been composing an increasing number of works and focusing more and more of my creative energy into composition. I have been composing choral music, instrumental chamber music, and orchestral music, and establishing myself as a composer both in Vermont, and elsewhere.  I have received mentoring from Evan Chambers, Professor of Composition at the University of Michigan, as well as from several of my composer colleagues, Troy Peters, Patricia Julien, and Thomas L. Read.
