Me


My Bio


I was born in Lakewood, California in a hospital that no longer exists.  I am currently a freelance composer, conductor, performer and photographer.  My interest in music presented itself at the age of four when I would compose short pieces for the piano.  I continued my studies on composition and the piano at California State University in Long Beach where I receive a Bachelors and Masters degree in composition and conducting.  My compositions have been performed throughout California and Oregon.  I have written pieces for a variety of ensembles including music for choir, concert band, orchestra, chamber ensemble, percussion ensemble, solo voice and electronic media.  My photography has been used for cd covers.  More recently is the Bluehush release of Drifters and Lessons.
