I’ve played and written music across numerous genres and in many different settings, from modern jazz in a quintet to Celtic and traditional Irish fiddle for contra dances. I’ve fiddled in a bluegrass band and in symphony orchestras, played in the pit for musicals, sung in several choirs and directed college a cappella, covered just about every instrument in the worship band, and released a few albums of original instrumental compositions.

In recent years, i played piano and wrote tunes for a jazz quintet, Nebula. Some recordings we made:

We played several live shows, but there aren’t that many videos out there. The ones we do have are below.

One of my compositions, Alone in the Cathedral, taken during a rehearsal in 2016 or 2017:

A composition called Transparence, by our saxophonist Ryan Proch, from a 2017 show at Cafe Pink House in Saratoga, CA:

Cell phone footage of an entire live show from October 2018, again at Cafe Pink House, can be seen here (couldn’t be embedded, sorry).

I also played piano, fiddle, and cajon for a contra dance band, Pepperjack. We made an album in 2021:

There is also some video evidence of us playing at Valley of the Moon fiddle camp in 2018:

and at the Silicon Valley Irish Fleadh the same year:

Way back in 2012, i wrote, recorded, and produced an album of my own compositions:

I studied composition under Tom Flaherty at Pomona College, where i wrote pieces for chamber groups and orchestra, including:

• Rhapsody for Orchestra, premiered by the Pomona College Orchestra
• String Quartet No. 1
• Fairy-Tale Suite, for woodwind quartet

I’m on SoundCloud, BandCamp, and YouTube, though i don’t post much.
