I am a computer professional, composer and academic living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a Ph.D. in Music Composition from the University of Chicago and a Masters Degree in Music Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

I have over 15 years of experience in the software industry and an extensive background in designing, constructing and implementing custom designed, web-based, database-driven applications as well as expertise in all phases of software development. I love what I do and bring enthusiasm and a creative spirit to my work.

As a composer of concert music, I have written works for chorus, woodwind quintet, string quartet, solo clarinet, chamber ensembles and two works for orchestra. I am a recipient of the Jim Highsmith Award at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and have had my orchestral work Cyclesperformed at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco.

I also love to cook.
