I have been a free-lance composer since 1991, creating original works as well as arrangements for orchestra, band, opera/music theater and a variety of chamber ensembles. My orchestral work, "Last Voyage", won the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Centennial Composers Competition. This achievement brought the title of an Ernst & Young Emerging American Composer. In addition, the Chicago Opera Theater presented my one-act chamber opera, "Commuter", at its New Music Showcase. Other important premieres include the performance of my monodrama, "With Blood On My Hands", at the University of Chicago, featuring bass-baritone Nicholas Solomon and Contempo. In addition, I've been extremely fortunate to receive terrific performances from ensembles such as the Pacifica Quartet, DuPage Symphony Orchestra,  West Suburban Symphony as well as the Augustana College Choir and Symphony Orchestra.
