Started singing at a very young age, as my mother is a vocal teacher. Began playing instrumental music as a child first on piano, and later on clarinet.
Wrote my first composition (a four part vocal piece) at age 17.
I'm choir director at a church in Washington state and have a done a number of choral arrangement, mostly of hymns.
Started writing instrumental arrangements when my wife took up oboe and my daughter started on flute so we'd have music to play together. We enjoy playing as a family.
