Greetings Friends!
As a concert and film composer, and as a music professor in the University of Tulsa School of Music, I stand for the possibility of opening up the power and beauty of music for love, transformation, creativity, community, spirituality, and world peace.
The values that are at the heart of who I am are: love, creativity, excellence, integrity, and inspiration.
