My earliest writing was all about creating things that I could sing and record just by myself. As my songwriting matured, I developed a very personal and emotional style in both music and lyrics.
My years working in theater have given me many opportunities to write incidental music, feature songs, and even entire musicals.
My years serving Lutheran congregations in musical leadership have provided many opportunities to set, adapt and arrange sacred texts and tunes, both within and beyond the Lutheran tradition.
Sometimes a composer knows exactly what instruments and voices should go with a particular piece. More often, a composer is given the list of musicians first, and must make the right music it work with the available forces. This means every opportunity is a unique challenge, and no combination is too strange.
It is a great joy to find new ways to sing old melodies, and new ways to hear familiar, or even not-so-familiar, poetry.
There is nothing quite like the sound of many voices joining together in song. Writing choral music involves a very specific skill set that I has master over the course of 30 years writing for groups of all sizes and configurations.
Supporting the congregational song has long been a primary focus of mine. This has taken the form of hymns, short verses, responses, and other types of songs for the Assembly.
Though I have long focused on the human voice, it has been my great pleasure to also write for instruments, both solos and ensembles. This has given me a string understanding or orchestration and the needs of players across a wide range of skill sets.
Worship services require many different types of music. From chant to interludes to introits, benedictions, and many more. Each situation is different, though my goal is always to create music which can meet a variety of situations.

Artists are advised to post music to all of the streaming platforms to have any chance of becoming visible. But the firehose of music makes that basically like buying an algorithm lottery ticket. Meanwhile, the services all make money with the music by selling ads or subscriptions, while the artists generally get nothing.
So the only place you can find my music now . . . is here! (Well, there are limited titles available on YouTube, and you can buy scores from the various publishers listed below.) You can stream everything here for free, without ads, and buy MP3s. You can also buy scores here for less, with 100% of your purchase supporting the creation of new music.
