I’m a freelance composer/arranger, piano accompanist, church organist, and private instructor based in the Detroit / Ann Arbor area. I work with universities, high schools, community groups, religious organizations, and independent musicians to collaborate at the highest levels for writing, accompanying, and teaching.

​

My writing includes pieces for choir, piano, organ, handbells, solo instruments, and instrumental ensembles.  Arrangements of mine have been performed in school, church, and concert settings and span a wide variety of genres.  Recent accompanying work includes playing for voice lessons at the top-rated University of Michigan School of Music (Ann Arbor, MI - Go Blue!); for concerts, competitions, and other events for the award-winning music program of the Walled Lake School District (Commerce, MI); and for the sold-out concerts of the PRISM Men's Chorus (Royal Oak, MI), which had up to 150 singers. I run a private piano teaching studio out of my home, which includes kids, adults, and prospective college music majors, where I offer both in-person and virtual lessons.

​

I have a BS degree in math and an MS degree in engineering - not a typical track for a professional musician, I know! I've been active in the music scene all my life and have always made it a priority to challenge myself and keep up my skills. After I got my engineering Master's degree I decided to take a chance and see if I could make a full-time career in music work. I did, and I've never looked back! 

 

I’m passionate about what I do and enjoy all types of music. Whether you’re interested in my arranging work, hiring me as an accompanist, or taking lessons from me, I look forward to working with you.
