I compose music for recorder and other instruments, with a focus on students and beginning adult musicians. My goal is to create melodic, approachable pieces that are enjoyable for both performers and listeners.

About Me
I’ve been a lifelong listener to classical music.
When I retired from a career in visual arts in 2025, I began playing and improvising on musical instruments. Starting with the Native American flute, I moved to alto and tenor recorders and then added keyboard.
Improvising grew into composing using software from Dorico, Logic Pro and MuseScore to shape ideas into finished pieces. Currently, I have a dozen recorder compositions published by the American Recorder Society.
Beyond composing, I enjoy biking, hiking, and photography. From my home in northern Alabama, the woods, water, and ever-changing sky inspire my music as much as my time outdoors.
