I create music that tells compelling stories. I'm a Colorado composer with a strong sense of my environment.I love to tell stories of the past. I love far off places. I love transform my audience with beautiful things. Among the over 20 commissions I have received include the Ladyslipper Ensemble, the Barlow Endowment (x2), string members of the St. Louis Symphony, [TriO], The Missouri Quintet I have gained varying degrees of recognition in the Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts, the Southwest American Prize, The American Prize in Orchestral Music, the Bruno Maderna International Composers Competition, the Missouri Orchestra Composers’ Project, the Alfred Schnittke Composer's Forum and Competition, and the National Flute Association (2x), etc. I have a doctorate degree, where I studied with Mark Wingate and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich.
