I currently teach and live at the Dublin School in Dublin, NH.

I spent fifteen years as adjunct faculty at New York University teaching in the Vocal Performance and Musical Theater Writing departments. Additionally, I was adjunct faculty in the Musical Theater departments at Molloy College and Manhattan School of Music.

I spent ten years working regionally and on Broadway as a composer, arranger, music director, pianist, and copyist.

I got to co-interview and get to know about 30 veterans and active duty soldiers for my and Jerre Dye's opera The Falling and The Rising.  The opera has had twenty productions across the country so far. Making 75 year old Vietnam vets, Secret Service agents, and young musical theater nerds cry tears of compassion and love in the same room has definitely been a highlight of my life.

Sara Cooper and I (The Memory Show, Loving Leo, Windows, Male Identity), won the 2014 Jonathan Larson Grant (awarded by the American Theater Wing).

Movin’ Up In The World (libretto by Jerre Dye), commissioned by Opera Memphis in 2014, is a short monodrama that I am very proud of. It was the first time I worked with Jerre and the piece moves me every time I see it performed.

I spent about 15 years working part time as a musicologist studying composers killed in the concentration camps. Specifically, I manage and edit the works of Marcel Tyberg. The work is near and dear to my heart as my grandparents were holocaust survivors. This work also contributes to my interest in transgenerational trauma.

I received my 200 HR Yoga and Meditation teacher training from Jaya Yoga Center in Brooklyn, NY, who, over the years became a second family to us reveling in kirtan, breath, and general Bhakti merriment. I received my 500 HR certification with J Brown in 2024.

I run ultramarathons

I love cooking all the plants for my vegan family

I am a father of two amazing children, Skylar and Ellis

Grateful to have the love and support from my partner in life, Brittney.
