I'm the Technology & Public Services Librarian at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse by day, composer and list maker by night. Many of my compositions are for handbell ensemble, but since working on my Master of Music degree in Composition at Butler University (completed May 2010), I've been broadening my compositional horizons and writing more contemporary classical and experimental music. Many of my newer compositions are for small ensembles of various types.

I have also been composing "performance pieces" that I have called Musical Deconstructions. These short pieces explore the different fundamental elements of music using avant garde styles and techniques.
