I'm a composer/trumpeter/improviser/ of music that mostly fits into that hard-to-name genre of "contemporary classical" or "new music" or "I don't get it" or "that sounds weird". I'm also an Assistant Professor at East Carolina University, where I teach music theory/composition, and Director of the NC NewMusic Initiative. I have a wonderful wife, Lauren; an amazing son, Owen; and a splendiferous wiener dog, Toby.
