Sunday, October 18, 2015 at 03:30AM I just wanted to say congrats to the Central High School Indoor Percussion Ensemble (St. Joseph, MO) for placing 1st in their class at the Missouri Marching Festival in Trenton, MO. They gave a fantastic performance of my piece Havana. It was a pleasure working with this talented group of young musicians during the marching season and I hope I will get other opportunities to do so in the future.

Saturday, August 8, 2015 at 02:28AM Just got out of rehearsal with The Iris Project. We are rehearsing for JoeStock, a local music festival in St. Joseph, MO. We are doing a couple of my original tunes and we recorded The Chocolate Cake Is Bleeding. So take a listen and enjoy!
Sunday, August 2, 2015 at 01:53AM I have been very active on my social media accounts in order to announce that my brass and percussion music that is published by Amalgam Publishing is now available from JW Pepper, Lone Star Percussion, and Explorers Percussion. This has all happened within a very short span of time so forgive me for not posting on here sooner. Also, I uploaded a new track to my soundcloud. It's a (work in progress) indoor drumline feature that I am writing for a high school. Check it out and give me your thoughts.
