I am a composer and general noise-maker from Ohio, drawing upon elements of American folklore, genealogy, art education, children’s theater, improvisation, digital media and everything in between to make music (and sometimes other odds and ends) for myself and the people around me, whether it be writing for the concert hall, recording tunes on my own, or collaborating with other artists.

I have been lucky enough to work with some wonderful labels (Heat Death Records, Audio Gourmet, Rural Colours) and a ton of incredible artists including the Kronos Quartet, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Central Ohio Symphony, concert:nova + the Cincinnati Ballet, and the Mobius Trio among many (equally talented) others. for a CV or list of works, please email me:
