H e l l o !
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my website. Please feel to reach out to me if you have any questions, I would sincerely love to hear from you.
I am a composer, conductor, teacher, tubist and musician. I wish that I could give you a more straight forward definition of what it is I do, but I'm not sure that I fall neatly into a normal category. My life really does exist at the intersection of these 'roles', and I'm blessed because of that.
Right now I live a couple of lives at once. On the one hand, I teach composition, tuba, and a class on Music and Multimedia at Bridgewater State University. On the other, I work at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee in the Performance Library. Alongside that, I work as assistant conductor in the opera department at Boco. I'm also lucky to have a third hand where I write music. And even beyond that, there are lots of things that I'm interested in, which require time, love and effort so much that I might as well go ahead and add a fourth hand in the mix. Now I don't mean to come across as some overwhelming 4-armed monster throwing its career and aspirations around like a maniac. I'm just excited about the many aspects of life that I'm lucky to be involved with right now.
I believe that I am supposed to write music. I believe that I am supposed to work with and lift up others in music.
This website is a snapshot of my musical life. And I'm so glad that you took some time to visit.
Please reach out at anytime.
I look forward to hearing from you!
