Greetings all--

I've been fortunate to work with many wonderful musicians, and it meant a lot to me to put together a collection of my chamber works that beautifully represents those collaborations. The music also reflects my life amidst seaside nature, which I love to share via photos on my blog, also titled "Notes from the Kelp":
