Dear Visitor, 

Greetings, and a warm welcome to my website!  Here you will find an overview of my varied work in film and television scoring, holiday pops arranging, concert music, and church music.  My music background is quite diverse, combining a classical-music upbringing with an immersion into the world of Hollywood film music, along with a healthy dose of pops arranging thrown into the mix. 

All of these varied experiences have combined to create a style of composition that I believe is rather distinctive, one that blends a variety of styles and approaches.  For example...  Because of my intense love of Baroque music, a fugue might pop up unexpectedly in one of my holiday pops arrangements.  And thanks to my love of writing film music, my concert and church music often takes on a certain Hollywood flair.

But no matter what type of project I'm working on, I want everything I compose to communicate something of meaning and value, and to do so in a way that blends compositional integrity for the performers, with accessibility for the audience.

I invite you to browse my website and hear some samples of my music.  Thank you for visiting!

Music has been a lifelong passion of mine. 

In this photo from 1973, I'm enjoying some intense but fun chamber music with my brother, David.  (I'm on the right, playing cello.) 

David has gone on to become a wonderful violinist (among other things), whereas I have channeled my musical energies into composition.

I give thanks to God for giving me my musical abilities and pray that He will use them to His glory.
