​I am a composer and musicologist teaching at Lake Forest College north of Chicago, writing a wide variety of music for stage and screen, electronic and for live instruments and voices.

With several of my colleagues, I am part of the experimental audio arts collective The Muttering Sickness.

Recently, I completed a science fiction novel with my friend Mike Pickard, called Cold Shoulder.
