Updated October 23, 2025, from my home in North Carolina.

Lots going on, mostly editing and bouncing many songs, pieces, and other work to submit to my music rental library in LA. Excellent incentive. Planning staggered releases starting in late 2025. There are also a couple of singles coming, too!

My String Quartet in F, (inspired by the invasion of Ukraine), was recorded by players in Lviv, Ukraine, during a war! 2nd movement dedicated to the children of Ukraine, will be released as a single soon.

Telegraph for woodwind trio, recorded by members of the Lviv Philharmonic, was released in January 2025.

Gigging 15+ dates per month, although focus these days is on composition and recording.

Location:

North Carolina, USA

Professional title:

Composer of concert, film, choral, jazz and popular music, jazz pianist/vocalist

What do you do?

I write and record mostly piano/vocal focused music, but also music for hire in a variety of genres; classical, jazz, pop, film, choral.

Why?

The urge to create at the piano has been a constant since early childhood. I write every day because I can’t imagine not doing so, and bacause it just seems to keep coming!

What should we read?

“How to Live” by Derek Sivers, “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. Everything by J.R.R. Tolkien!
