I am a musician with a variety of developed skills.

Film composer

I compose and record music in a variety of styles for commercials and film, from popular to orchestral. I work regularly with A2f Pictures and recently had a score commissioned by Egg Music. I have developed music for many commercials and for three short films.

Cellist

I appeared as guest solo cellist with orchestra at the age of 14. I made my conducting debut as a 17 year old. I am extremely comfortable performing for and speaking before large crowds. I have performed internationally, from major venues such as Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in New York City to Shostakovich Grand Philharmonic Hall in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. I have also performed in the countries of Chile, Czech Republic, China, Taiwan and Japan.

Conductor

I have served as Music Director and Conductor of professional, university/college and youth orchestras, including the Oshkosh Symphony, the Columbus Ballet, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, Columbus State University, the Youth Orchestra of Greater Columbus and the New World Youth Orchestras.

Educator

I have taught at the university level at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, Columbus State University, Earlham College and Eastern Illinois University.
