       Since I started writing music, I've continually looked for new sounds and means of musical expression. In addition to writing for traditional ensembles such as string quartet, chorus, wind band, and solo piano, I've also composed for other groups such as marimba quartet, trumpet sextet, and wind quartet. I am currently working on a multi-movement piece for full wind ensemble, and a band arrangement of my choral piece, Alone.
