I am a composer and pianist living in New York City. During high school, I studied composition with Bruce Adolphe at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Later, I studied with David Dzubay, Samuel Adler and Don Freund at Indiana University (B.Mus 2000), and with John Harbison and Lukas Foss at Boston University (D.M.A. 2005). I am currently composing a short musical for children commissioned by Concordia Conservatory (Bronxville, NY), where I am also a faculty member. As a performer, I am foremost a pianist but I also play accordion, including a stint this past summer with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in Kurt Weill's The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny.

My compositions are published by Tenuto Press, a division of Presser Music, and two arrangements are published by Schott Music.
