I'm a composer/keyboardist from Beaver Falls, PA, which is about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh. Recently I received a B.M. in Music Technology/Electronic Composition and jazz piano from Duquesne University. During my time at Duquesne I studied jazz composition and arranging with Mike Tomaro and electronic composition with Lynn Purse and Dr. Patrick Burke. At Duquesne I was also fortunate enough to have three big band arrangements performed and recorded by the DU Jazz Ensemble, as well as other chamber works and electronic compositions. I've worked on arranging projects for Alanna Records and I'm currently working on string quartet arrangements of Christmas carols. As a keyboardist, I occasionally play piano for events in the Pittsburgh area, including weddings, receptions, concerts, and church services. I'm also a freelance session musician, and have recorded piano and keyboards for guitarists/producers Bill Purse and Tom Kikta in a wide variety of styles and instrumentations. I had the privilege of recording my original composition "David and Goliath" for Mr. Purse's album, In the Loop.

I'm also an alumnus of Kappa Kappa Psi, a national honorary band fraternity. In our chapter at Duquesne, I served as Vice President of Special Projects, which involved planning and executing all of the service projects. Our responsibilities included assisting the A/V Department with setting up and tearing down the stage for wind symphony and symphony band concerts, setting up chairs and music stands for rehearsals, preparing an ensemble to perform once per semester in local venues, and participation in river and park cleanups and Relay for Life.

"To be the salt of the earth; to be a town built on a hill; to be the light of the world; and to glorify the Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16)
