Like most kids, I used to dream of things far out of my reach.  I would dream about what it would be like to fly high above the Earth.  Flying airplanes, big jets, in particular, was what I wanted to do.  With the blessings of God, I realized my dream and today command a B737-700 across the skies of North America for a major U.S. airline.

    Of course, that’s only my day job (or night depending on your point of view).  I’ve spent the majority of my life passionate about music.  After a late start (high school), I began studying music, and couldn’t learn enough about it.  I was particularly drawn to the French Horn, studying it privately until I received a scholarship to continue my studies into college.  Ultimately, I began studying composition there too, which continues to be the main focus of my musical life.  Please take a look at the Music page for a description of past and future projects.
