I am a composer in my spare time. I have a B.M. in Music Composition from Brigham Young University (1988) and an M.M. in Music Composition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1999).

My "Mechanizations" for piano (4 movements, 10 minutes duration) was performed Fall 1995; my "Interactions for Violin and Piano" (4 minutes duration) was performed Spring 1997; and my "Instant Motion" (2 minutes duration) and "February Refractions" (8 minutes duration) for flute, cello, and piano were both performed Spring 1999 in Morphy Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Music.

In Spring 2000, my "Eliptical Ascent" (11.5 minutes duration) was performed by the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble in Music Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: the scoring was for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, french horn, trumpet, trombone, percussion, piano, two violins, viola, cello, and double bass.

On December 4, 2007, "A Singular Continuity" for orchestra (about 4 minutes duration) was premiered by the Chapel Hill High School Orchestra under the direction of Barbara Bridges Smith at the Hanes Auditorium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

In January, 2017, I completed a piano piece “Recursive Pursuit”. The score is here, and a midi recording is here. The piece has not yet been recorded on the piano or premiered publically. If you would like to perform it, I would appreciate a good live recording if possible.

The style of my music is "contemporary classical," or what some people refer to as "new music," and includes works for voice, chamber instrumental groups, orchestra, and percussion.
