In the beginning...

My elementary music teacher, Bruce Brown, started a "Composers Club" when I was in 6th grade. As I recall, there were about four or five of us who met for about thirty minutes during a Friday afternoon enrichment period. "The Cat" was my first original composition. It sounded quite epic in my head . . . but quite pathetic when Mr. Brown played it on the piano. Thus began my quest to accurately capture and record the music I heard. I believe I do a much better job these days.

My Philosophy

I believe that music is an expression of our passion, our intellect, and ultimately of our basic humanity. A quality piece of music speaks to the performer and the audience and elicits a visceral response from both. A quality orchestration empowers the performer to easily navigate the mechanics and quickly dig into the art and emotion of performance. It is my goal to provide this quality of service to my clients every time.
