This Blog is Moving

Hi Folks, and thanks for your interest in me and my work. I’ve decided to move this blog to the Tumblr blog I’ve been keeping for over a year. The major difference will be the type of posts. I’ve kept this blog focused only on work I’ve made or things I’ve photographed. The Tumblr blog [...]

Field Mic: A New Music Blog

I am pleased to announce a new blog that serves an interest I’ve had for some time now. Help me welcome Field Mic.

Next Steps

News moves too fast these days. I’m getting text messages, and phone calls congratulating me already. What are they congratulating you ask? Well, I’ve just accepted an offer to be a Composition Artist at McKinney. This is great for many reasons. The first being I get to commute (and work) with my lovely wife. Secondly, [...]
