Whatever your music needs may be, from business jingles to web design, film cues to performing artists, consider using my services.  I have written in many genres including rock, techno, electronica, jazz, big band, choral, and 'classical' concert music.  My music can give your project that finishing touch that has been eluding you or your performance group that fresh new sound that you have been looking for. I hold a master's degree in music composition from the Chicago College of Performing Arts (CCPA) at Roosevelt University and my music has received several honors, awards and scholarships.  While at the CCPA, I studied composition with Dr. Stacy Garrop.  I also studied with Dr. Gyula Fekete and attended master classes with Chicago composers Jan Bach and Frank Ferko.
	When I compose, I draw inspiration from all the music I have ever enjoyed.  This means that electronic/industrial/experimental groups like Skinny Puppy, Aphex Twin and Einsturzende Neubauten have as much an influence on my music as George Crumb, Stravinsky and Bartok.  Metal and punk groups like Ministry and Minor Threat have as much input into my music as the minimalists and Bang on a Can. I grew up enjoying jazz, electronica, industrial, metal, punk and classical music and always wanted to be a rock star.  As I got older and learned a little more about music, I found that my true passion was manipulating sound, and I prefer to do that within an acoustic aesthetic. If you or your ensemble is interested in performing one of my works or if your group or business has a need for new music, please allow me to help.
