Inspiring music for today’s choirs

Meaningful Music

I write music with the needs of church, college, and community choirs in mind. My thoughtful compositions include appealing melodies and harmonies that are accessible for singers of varying abilities and enjoyable to learn and sing.

Spiritual depth

My choral compositions are based on texts with deep spiritual meaning that inspire a world founded in peace, love, compassion, inclusion, and self-reflection. My catalogue includes compositions based on both religious and philosophical texts.

Thoughtful TEXT-SETTING

When composing, I place equal emphasis on text and music, creating works that speak to listeners and singers alike, both musically and spiritually.

lifelong church musician

I have been a church musician for nearly fifty years having played for services and conducted choirs in several Protestant Churches, Jewish congregations as well as the Catholic Church. 

Mature Perspective

My broad life experience includes social work, coming out as a teenager, and extensive contemplation and personal development. I have learned many life lessons along the way, which lend my work depth and relevance.

Brave new frontiers!

I left my home state of Indiana after fifty years to begin a fresh start as a musician on the East Coast. In the last fourteen years I have excelled in my field, making a name for myself as a musician and composer.
